Ambleside
Loughrigg and Wansfell, Fairfield and Red scree,
The most charming of villages lie beneath thee,
It's beauty is bountyfull, many books have been wrote,
I see a different side, I see the folk,
When you visit this place you may think heavens sent,
A friendlier place, I could not invent,
The colors the views are what you come to see,
It's the people who live here that do it for me.
The loyalty, the faith, the comrades in arms,
These are the locals, the shops and the farms,
A community spirit amazing to see,
All known by first names, how we'd all like to be.
If there's trouble in town they will go to some length,
And they all pull together, a show of great strength,
Come as a couple or come on your own,
Nothing but grace will you ever be shown,
My ambleside, I can't shout it to loud,
A village A home, of which I am so proud,
This is the place i shall die with great glee,
this is a village you must come and see.
