Casterton School Song by Casterton School

The mountain moors above us show
The first light of the sun
Swift the glow descends the fell
Where moorland streams clear run
Down to join the river's flood
In one light reflecting pool
In the Lune's wide, ancient valley
Stands Casterton our school
Casterton, Casterton, Casterton our school

The day now surely brightens
On the valley's rock and tree
And lights the restless waters
Seeking a promised sea
And looking ever forward
Guided by freedoms rule
The daughter of a timeless stream
Stands Casterton our school
Casterton, Casterton, Casterton our school

From the highest peak of hillside
That stands remote alone
To the river's deepest, singing gorge
Day's glory guilds the stone
Founded on rock of living strength
Built by the mightiest tool
The grey child of an ageless fell
Stands Casterton our school
Casterton, Casterton, Casterton our school

But soon the mists of evening
Hang blue upon the hills
And the closing night in quietness
Holds peace and rest for ills
But ere the latter darkness fall
On time's close-drawing day
Our song of light triumphant swells
One heart, One way. One heart, One way

Recorded in 1964
