Primaeval power, the forest comes,
Stretching, reaching, for sun and sky.
Princely power, the warrior comes,
Battling, bargaining, for new won land.
Praying power, the nunnery comes,
Tending, teaching, in church and school.
Private power, the manor comes,
Building, nurturing, in village life.
Pulling power, the horses come,
Helping, hauling, in mill and mine.
Precision power, the engines come,
Steaming, turning, in boat and pit.
Power of history,
Power of people,
abbess, farmer, peasant, lord,
protect, project, persuade, produce,
Love of river, village, world.
