The Cornish shore …
Where golden sand lies next
To dappled grey granite rock,
Where the sea breeze sweeps
And the mussels flock,
Where the rock pools gather
And the small ***** patrol,
Where the white foam curls
And the breakers roll,
Where the sea birds call
And the salt spray stings,
Where the seaweed sunbathes
And the limpet clings,
Where a stream’s course meanders,
And reflects the azure sky,
Where a starfish gazes skywards
And white clouds go scudding by.
By all means take treasured memories,
But please take nothing more,
And leave nothing but your footprints
On this sacred Cornish shore …

Cornwall is my homeland
And it will always be,
A large part of it surrounded,
Surrounded by the sea.
Cornwall is my homeland,
It’s where my roots are deep,
And this connection with my forbears,
I feel a strong desire to keep.
Cornwall is my homeland,
Of me it is a part,
For it resides within my soul
And is branded in my heart.
Cornwall is my homeland,
It’s where I will always stay,
And when my days are over,
It’s where I will surely lay.
