A Tradition Of Oker Hill In Darley Dale, Derbyshire, By: William Wordsworth

A Tradition Of Oker Hill In Darley Dale, Derbyshire, By: William Wordsworth

‘Tis said that to the brow of yon fair hill
Two Brothers clomb, and, turning face from face,
Nor one look more exchanging, grief to still
Or feed, each planted on that lofty place
A chosen Tree; then, eager to fullfil
Their courses, like two new-born rivers, they
In opposite directions urged their way
Down from the far-seen mount. No blast might kill
Or blight that fond memorial; the trees grew,
And now entwine their arms; but ne’er again
Embraced those Brothers upon earth’s wide plain;
Nor aught of mutual joy or sorrow knew
Until their spirits mingled in the sea
That to itself takes all, Eternity.
