The Cheviot Hills <br />echo their battle cry. <br />Seventeenth century <br />discontent ~ this is <br />the reason why. <br />England and Scotland <br />in times of yore settled <br />problems with civil war. <br /> <br />The printed word now <br />tells the story of <br />'Oliver Cromwell' <br />and civil war glory. <br />Edgehill, Naseby and <br />old Marston Moor <br />were all scenes of battle <br />on Britain's green shore. <br /> <br />A new model army, <br />and Cromwell fought on <br />with powerful methods; <br />his armour plate shone! <br />He - and his Charger <br />sped across barren land <br />as the north Cheviot hills <br />will forever understand.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hills-remember/
