Looking through nature’s window To the still waters beyond Calm and peaceful and restorative As if touched by a magic wand This is my place I so often choose To embrace the beauty of the land Where the murmuring of the trees and the ripple of the water Seem to take me by the hand So close to home just past The spotted dick buildings of Belsay To a place where the soul’s deepest feelings Can truly hold sway Peter Sagar
