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
