I wrote this song after a visit to the English Lake District

The Lakes, Glynne Davies

From Windermere to Bassenthwaite
Ullswater to Ennerdale
The beauty of the English lakes
Is this the Holy Grail


Walk high in the hills on Striding Edge
On High Street and Skiddaw
Up Scafell Pike, trudge up Great Gable
The views will have you in ewe.

Walk over some of the lower hills
Like Longgrigg fell and Wansfield Pike
Look down the valleys to the lakes
The reward for your easy hike.

The crystal clear waters of Thirlmere
The man made beauty of Tarn Hows
The shear cliffs plunging into Wast Water
The wildlife, sheep and cows.

The flooded Mardale, Haweswater
Rydal Water and Grassmere
Lowes Water, Crummock, Buttermere
The steamer at Conniston pier.

Esthwater and Ellterwater
Up in the Langdale vale
Magnificent the scenery
And the forests of Grizedale

Man has tended this area well
Planted a variety of trees
Enhanced the natural beauty
For us all to see.
