遠い地より運び
古の人の手に託され
今も聳える石
(Trans)
From a distant land carried
By the hands of ancient people
Stones still stand tall
Old men recount a fantastic tale,
That the ancient 'henge stones are glacial.
But their theory lacks,
Any supporting facts,
So the myth is complete cock and bull.
By the hands of ancient people
Stones still stand tall
-------------------------
Bluestones from afar,
Carried by ancient hands,
Standing strong today.
Carried by ancient hands,
Standing strong today.
-------------------------
That the ancient 'henge stones are glacial.
But their theory lacks,
Any supporting facts,
So the myth is complete cock and bull.
-------------------------
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said, "Dost thou know
The bluestones are the work of a human hand ?
And do they not still stand, and still they show
That their sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things?"
For the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
The false words that icy fingers brought them here
The King of Kings, pure proven truth, has clearly said
To tell the charlatans to look and despair.
Of their theory nought remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level grasses stretch far away.”
