Queenstown
Queenstown.
Here
Mountain and lake
The unconquerable hills above.
Below, the lucent waters of the lake
And ‘twixt the twain are gardens that, men love,
And homes that passing seasons overtake
And leave more lovely. Here it well may be
Some native hillman of the latter years
May come upon the secret that endears
This spot to men, as in the days of old
Wordsworth the Dalesman sang his native wold.
