Rhymes of Northern Bards / Being a Curious Collection of Old and New Songs and Poems, Peculiar to the Counties of Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham

by Unknown

The antique walls do join the scene,

And makes more lovely Pandon Dean.

Above me stand the towering trees,

While here I feel the gentle breeze;

The water flows by chance around,

And green enamels all the ground:

Which gives new splendour to the scene,

And adds a grace to Pandon Dean.

But when I mount the rising hill,

And there survey the purling rill,
