This poem is about the landscape of derbyshire in particular the history of Peveril Castle. It is a place of wonder and beauty and holds in its memories roman and ancient history.
Verdant hills stretch before you
The giant Peveril of time reaches up from its monstrous past
Of broken earth and volcanic blast
Surveying all below
That glint and gleam in their trillion shades of green that crawl softly
Silently with a living claw.
Life abundant all around
Knowing songs of air and land with shadow and shaft moving over
As a stroking hand
There at rest in all that glorious age
Majesty stands alone this watching waiting sage.
Your keep lies fast in rich domain
For eternity and with the same eyes watch the cast and silver strike
Of all foreign lands with like
Protecting worn live you still
The mighty sleeping Peveril.
