A sense of ancient lore ripples through the air
Avalon attracts visitors with such a flair
It hosts the famous Galstonbury Festival
Pilgrimage, music, tourists, and carnival
Tradition has it that Jesus was a visitor there
An abbey was built in the Middle Ages for prayer
It has been a mecca for a hundred years
Bringing cultural pilgrims from spiritual spheres
The final resting place of King Arthur and Guinevere
Sleeping side by side neath the cool misty air
Overlooking it all is Glastonbury Tor, a fascinating high hill
A sanctuary for the mythical goddess of fertility and good will
In this era there will be no other place that equals its fame
England's beloved Avalon with its renoun name
