| Roseberry Topping Oh, how indelible a lovely view Imprints itself upon our memory: For, who can climb thy summit and from thence Behold that prospect, so enchanting; spread Before his wonderous gaze; nor feel it's power To cheer the mind, and elevate the soul? Around, and over us, the clouds are borne with gentle motion, glittering in the sun: Like those huge icebergs which in Arctic Seas Contrast with dazzling white the blue beneath. Whilst others fleecy float with crimson tints, Emblems, at once of purity and peace. And far beneath us blooms the lovely dale Of Cleveland, with it's smiling fields of corn; It's meadows, with their peaceful flocks and herds, It's rural villages, those happy seats Of busy, prosperous industry, and all The little farms which doth the landscape bound, And give an animated gaiety, Adding fresh pleasure....................................." There's at least another 100 lines of this! It was written in the 1850's by a geezer called Mr. J.R. Robinson of Drewsbury. |
