Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. John Keble, M.A., Late Vicar of Hursley, Vol. 2
While cooling waters here ye drink, Rest not your thoughts below; Look to the sacred sign, and think Whence living waters flow Then fearlessly advance by night or day, The holy Cross stands guardian of your way.
Many years have passed since I stood on this Spot, but I remember well, that even with the close neighbourhood of a turnpike road, the prevailing character of the whole scene was one of solemn rest, and almost seclusion; the dark background of foliage perhaps helps to produce this effect.
