This post marks the 900th in the thread – thanks to all who have contributed to it!
Just a reminder, but most of the poems here, along with illustrations, can be found on Megalithic Poems. There’s a search engine there (on the right of the page under Links) that might help when looking for a particular poet, or a poem about a particular site.

On hilltop crown’d to rule the land
The mighty stones majestic stand
Morning haar like ghastly breath
Paints the rocks with life and death
Mysticks pray and scholars wonder
As stones defy both sun and thunder
Ne’er bowing to nature’s will
The stones still stand as they stand still

Has anyone got a copy of this with the 9 original drawings?
G.M. [George Monkland] The Invitation; a Rhyming and Locodescriptive Epistle containing Sketches of Scenery in Wilts and Dorset, Bastable's Press, Bell Street, Shaftesbury, 1833:
‘And at Stonehenge we pause and rest,
Where we survey this wonder of the west,
“Who shall decide, when doctors disagree?”
And each conjecture ends in mystery!

Thanks for that, the reprints I have seen thus far either do not have the illustrations or show part or fold outs. The text is on Google books by the way... worth a look pp.14-16.

The mystery line is...
"But if "Big Jim's" yer man."
"William"/ "Bill" is also "Jim" here in Scotland...
