A Valley Thick With Oaks - Winterfylleth

Still is a valley

Surrounded by a forest of Oaks

Bespiring deeply

With the breath of our ancestors

A knot of roots

Hold steadfast the earth

Bonds that link a nation,

Foregoing generations

Eternal, unswayed

Roots of heritage

Pertain to the valley

Roots of hope

Growing strong

Entwined in the land

A valley thick with oaks

Its villages silenced

By the drift of clear water

A bell tolls for many

Their presence long gone

A voice in the wind

Telling secrets of the fallen

Lessons without words

A proud spirit remains

In the heart of every Englishman
