NEolithic and Megalithic
Not far from Long Compton,made
Up of oolitic limestone
The Whispering Knights
Or so they claim
Were the first
A dolmen,
a burial place of sorts
Followed by the Kings Men
Always in our thoughts
The third it was the Kings Stone
A monolith although
Was put there in the bronze age
A long long time ago
Rollrights “wheel enclosure groove”
A narrow valley near
Was it Mother Shipton a witch
Who it seemed was clear
To pitch up camp when
The soldiers came
And of course that was denied
Turn back she cackled King and all
And do not try and hide
Thats the way they talked in them days
Standing on her own
And now a lot of druids come
With robes and swords and their beating drum
They walk the circle They sup their mead
They light their fire , and yes indeed
See Chipping Norton down below
The southern portal it be there
Fields of Barley fields of wheat
With the labyrinth beneath their feet
Spring solstice a little reminder of where it be
