by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878 - 1962)

Northumberland
Language: English 
Heatherland and bent-land --
Black land and white,
God bring me to Northumberland,
The land of my delight.

Land of singing waters,
And winds from off the sea,
God bring me to Northumberland,
The land where I would be.

Heatherland and bent-land,
And valleys rich with corn,
God bring me to Northumberland,
The land where I was born.
