And if you want a land of peace then you can tell
I will meet you down at St Aldhelm's well
If you have forgotten Forget-me-nots or the chimes of Bluebells
Then come meet me down at St Aldhelm's well
If you want the sound of choirs or the toll of church bells
Then you'll find them down at St Aldhelm's well
And the inhabitants of the village there happily they dwell
For they built their homes by St Aldhelm's well
And they sow the fields, gather yields and peas they shell
As they live their lives out by St Aldhelm's well
And the trees bear fruit and the livestock they can sell
All because of the waters at St Aldhelm's well
And it springs up from the hill and runs down in the dell
As the trees take their fill from St Aldhelm's well
They lack not for lumber for trees grow in great number
And their strong trunks they can fell
As they grow thick and fast, just like ships' masts
And you can find them down at St Aldhelm's well
None are diminished after the day's toils are finished
None feel oppressed by evil or fear hell
For they pour water from their jugs and they fill their cups and mugs
And all drink deep down at St Aldhelm's well
