'here' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'on the green somewhere near lewisham' is the wordplay.
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'green somewhere near lewisham' becomes 'hir' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the' placed within 'hir' is 'HITHER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
