lyrics
Dupath well is a pellucid spring
built of granite grey and worn by age
a complete specimen
of the little chapels anciently
so common in Cornwall.
It overflows a trough
entering the archway of the chapel
spreads across the floor
flowing out at the opposite side
below a window.
Saint Euny's well was south west of Madron
its virtues similar to Madern well
curiously carved stones
show that anciently this place was held
in the highest esteem
among its properties
healing wounds of various description
The last day the year
was the time of the season to hither
when it's most likely
that its tide of virtues can be caught.
