HIGH on a point of rugged ground | |
| Among the wastes of Rylstone Fell, | |
| Above the loftiest ridge or mound | |
| Where foresters or shepherds dwell, | |
| An edifice of warlike frame | 5 |
| Stands single,—Norton Tower its name; | |
| It fronts all quarters, and looks round | |
| O’er path and road, and plain and dell, | |
| Dark moor, and gleam of pool and stream, | |
| Upon a prospect without bound. | 10 | | | |
