What would I like to see" No fear
Not London - no nor Windermere
Nor Paris with its skies so clear  
Give me a look at Sheffield

I have it in my mental eye 
Its valleys and its uplands high
Its smoke-cloud flung against the sky 
The smoke that blackens Sheffield

Its five small rills that slowly steal
Past rolling mill and grinding wheel 
Their very names can make me feel
That I belong to Sheffield

O' Loxley, Rivelin, Porter Sheaf 
Flow onward to the Don your chief
And ripple out your message brief 
Men must be free in Sheffield

I know each street and winding lane 
Oh yes, they're black! Oh yes, they're plain
But let me tread them once again 
And heaven will shine in Sheffield

And I can hear, as luck may hap 
The knickerpecker's "tap, tap, tap
The grindstone's hiss, the tilts "rap, rap 
As if I was in Sheffield

O' Loxley, Rivelin, Porter Sheaf 
Flow onward to the Don your chief
And ripple out your message brief 
Men must be free in Sheffield

Aye, and that blunt old Sheffield speech
As none else to my soul can reach 
It knows not how to beg, beseech
The tongue that's spoke in Sheffield

But here we are! - "What for?" You Say 
To teach the Boche the time of day 
And keep him far enough away 
From setting foot in Sheffield

O' Loxley, Rivelin, Porter Sheaf 
Flow onward to the Don your chief
And ripple out your message brief 
Men must be free in Sheffield
