| The farmer working in the fields | |
| before the sunrise, | |
| the inland navigators heading | |
| for the far skies. | |
| Up on the hills amid the silence | |
| of the high moors, | |
| down in the valleys, by the rivers | |
| and the dry stone walls. | |
| That is where you will find them | |
| out there, working by the hedgerows. | |
| In the rain and the snowfall | |
| you’ll find them | |
| out there, high against the skyline. | |
| In the mines and the headings | |
| you’ll find them, down there | |
| dreaming of the daylight. | |
| The line will hold; | |
| the mark of man | |
| upon the land; | |
| the inland navigators | |
| reaching for the far skies. |
