Description
This place and surrounding countryside was thought to be the inspiration for this Poem by Joseph Tubbs of Warborough near Dorchester carved the following poem on the Poem Tree which is no longer..
As up the hill with labr'ing steps we tread
Where the twin Clumps their sheltering branches spread
The summit gain'd, at ease reclining lay
and all around the wide spread scene survey
Point out each object and instructive tell
The various changes that the land befel.
Where the low bank the country wide surrounds
That ancient earthwork form'd old Murcia's bounds.
In misty distance see the barrow heave,
There lies forgotten lonely Culchelm's grave.
Around this hill the ruthless Danes intrenched,
and these fair plains with gory slaughter drench'd,
While at our feet where stands that stately tower
In days gone by, uprose the Roman power
And yonder, there where Thames smooth waters glide
In later days appeared monastic pride.
Within that field where lies the grazing herd
Huge walls were found, some coffins disinter'd
Such is the course of time, the wreck which fate
And awful doom award the earthly great.
Thanks for taking time to look and any comments you care to make

All mood and admosphere, the water is a living presence. Cliff.
Here in America we tear down old buildings quickly but do not work the earth so to make gardens, only to devastate for extraction of minerals. I'll offer this somewhat careful comparison that the Maya made stepped pyramids. Well, I'm off now! Don't forget!
