talbots two sisters




Where smugglers did haunt and poachers did prey
from the heathlands of canford to the shores of shell bay
their boots they were worn and the children were poor
with lessons not learned and their manners absurd to the core
the gentry were rich then and their houses were grand
but the poor laboring men twere rest not assured
the benevolent sisters took up the cause
through the fine words of Owen and the cross of the lord

the village was crafted and the lines they were drawn
with cottages fit for the weary and worn
with stables and farmland so free to transcend
with the community rich in its peoples and blend
the primroses grew on the footpaths its true
with the church of st marks close by the boundaries of Bournemouth n Poole
where the kinson estate had stretched from wimborne to Waterloo
still rich in its folklore and the gypsies ole traveling crew

the Talbot community was true to the cause
with our lords ten commandments and its decency laws
though the poor men were rich in their community life
with the strength of the hands and the skills of their knives
the school it was set in the woods of the land
where there's heathlands for grazing still free to ole gypsy bands
close by the poor commons of turfs new England's fame
the sisters created a wealth amidst the stoned gravelled lanes

where sweet lodges were plentiful and men knew their places
where the squires were rich and all of the lawbreakers hid of their face
in woodlands and heathlands where rabbits ran free the story of Talbot is pure history
on the Wallis downs commons and in the rich lanes
where folks grew their crops and the fox ran again
the working men were free to gain the benefits of open land
the gaffers were dedicated and the land was free
where two sisters pledged their thrust in thee
