Merlin’s Well

*Merlin’s Well* is a song adapted from the poem featured in Mow Cop: A Poet’s Sanctuary by **Stephen Smith**.
Rooted in English myth and landscape, the song draws inspiration from *Alderley Edge* and its enduring legends of Merlin, hidden knights, and ancient magic waiting just beneath the surface.

Set to music, the poem becomes a journey into moonlit pine woods, whispering wells, and the thin places where history, folklore, and imagination meet. Merlin’s Well invites the listener to pause, listen, and remember that some magic is never lost—only quiet.

If you’re drawn to myth, folklore, poetry, and songs shaped by the land itself, this one is for you.
