Hexham Pant (poem)
One of the copper plaques on NY9364 : Hexham Pant.

O YOU WHO DRINK MY COOLING WATERS CLEAR
FORGET NOT THE FAR HILLS FROM WHENCE THEY FLOW
WHERE OVER FELL AND MOORLAND YEAR BY YEAR
SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN WINTER COME AND GO
WITH SHOWERING SUN AND RAIN AND STORM AND SNOW
WHERE OVER THE GREEN BENTS FOREVER BLOW
THE FOUR FREE WINDS OF HEAVEN WHERE TIME FALLS
IN SOLITARY PLACES CALM AND SLOW
WHERE PIPES THE CURLEW AND THE PLOVER CALLS
BENEATH AN OPEN SKY MY WATERS SPRING
BENEATH THE CLEAR SKY WELLING FAIR AND SWEET
A DRAUGHT OF COOLNESS FOR YOUR THIRST TO BRING
A SOUND OF COOLNESS IN THE BUSY STREET

WILFRED WILSON GIBSON HEXHAM FEB 1901
