About this picture …

Harebells stand out against the frothing waters of the River Tees as they jostle through Cauldron Snout. They have just left Cow Green Dam and Reservoir a few miles north of Brough; next stop, High Force.

Transcript / Notes

In some British schools, the following song was sung to this air several years ago:

LATE and early, brawny and burly,
There at his anvil the blacksmith stands,
Never tiring by strength inspiring,
Manfully toiling with eager hands.
List to the clamour of his busy hammer,
Mark the sparks that upward fly like showers of falling rain:
Hear him singing as his sledge goes swinging
’Til the glowing iron rings again.

Division on a Ground, by Mr P. B.

John Playford (ed.) (1623-1686)

Performed by David Douglass, Paul O’Dette, Andrew Lawrence-King.
