lyrics
In northern Oxford was Elmer's well
Possibly a spring in the meadows
towards Wolvercote
now forgotten
having been possibly destroyed
by canal or railway.
Near Saint Clement's was
another spring
where Saint Edmund did
sometimes meet
and converse with
an angel or nymph.
This well is now filled up
In the west suburbs
was Harold's well near Osney,
now quite forgotten.
