Title
Upper Story of the Gatehouse, Kirklees Priory - HLS05931
Description
Slide 4a - This the outlaw forbade, and only asked that he should once more draw his bow, and from the window of this room it is narrated he shot his last arrow to denote --
'That where the arrow down should fall,
There buried should he be.'
How that weary blast rings down all the centuries and knocks at our hearts for sympathy.
So the arrow sped on its way through the air, and dropped upon the sweet turf a bow shot from the stone casement, and the grave was dug and lined with green sods, and there lies Robin to this hour.
