Summary: This was written in appreciation of our longest river. There is a statue of Sabrina in the Dingle Park in Shrewsbury. Until Tudor times the Bristol Channel was known as the Severn Sea




From Plynlimon to the Severn Sea
Sabrina victim of jealousy
Cast into the raging flood
drained of her innocent blood
Killed for her father's infidelity

No siren she
a victim of her own
beauty, Sabrina
and her mother Estrildis
dragged from their palace
and drowned
out of malice.
