I gazed contentedly on the
majesty of Hareshaw Linn
I felt the exhilaration of the
focused energy on High Force,
while away to the west
the lonely hills stood guard.
I heard the bubbling and turmoil
of the plunge pool at Low Force
and felt the mystery of the
distant fells across Derwentwater
There was sacred scripture
that could be read in special ways
with the eyes of the kindly soul
and the gentle heart’s fond gaze.
