Oh,Cumbria I wish I were with you
Near Ambleside, the stepping stones, the slate
The Langdale Pikes , the valley and the view
The sinking sands, the sprawling sea so blue
The tempting path across the bay , it’s bait
Oh,Cumbria I wish I were with you
The thunderstorms, the heavy clouds, the dew
Water is your element, your fate
The Langdale Pikes , the valley and the view
By Buttermere the waterfalls renew
My shoes were pools,my socks a Plathian plaint
Oh,Cumbria I wish I were with you
I may be human,,I may be astute
My feelings, punctured ,let me lose my state
By Langdale Pikes , huge shadows stripe the view
The sky is black, the candles flicker,night
Fear and awe, I kneel here , faith ignites
Oh,Cumbria I wish I could see you
The Langdale Pikes , the cliffs, the distant view
