The Jewel of Glastonbury

Across all the lands and every sea

From bluest water to the greenest tree

They say there’s nothing, however lovely

Can compare to the Jewel of Glastonbury

 

Not Solomon’s horde under lock and key

Nor King Midas’ gifts, given for free

Nothing exists holds a candle to thee

Sweetly sparkling Jewel of Glastonbury

 

Isle of apples and the hawthorn tree

‘tis true: that place where such wonders there be

Forsooth boasts no greater glory than the

True and mythical Jewel of Glastonbury

 

Now that I know of the Jewel’s story

I know and I fear I’ll never be free

I’ll spend all my life just longing to see

That magnificent Jewel of Glastonbury

 

Now I do swear – aye by this I decree:

I’ll set out and quest most valiantly

Try and travail by any degree

To witness the famed Jewel of Glastonbury
