The English
Pent In a sea-girt isle, there is the soul of
the sea—
Dominant, strong, and deep; steady and
grave and free—
Tho the murk of their misty skies
May often dim their eyes.
They can see to fight in the blackest
night
P'or the cause of Liberty.
Well for the weal of the world that their
will holds like the rock!
Well for our land at ease when they bore
the battle shock!
Ah, we who dwell in the sun,
VVhere the mingling rivers run.
May serve our race with a lighter
grace.
Yet boast of our parent stock.
Summed by a critic eye, their faults and
their failings mount;
(Even may be the score with ours, in the
long account!)
But they bear the Word of God
Wherever their foot has trod.
And they teach the weak of the world
to seek
For wisdom at the fount.
Liberty laughed one day, with Magna
Charta sealed.
Craving the whole wide earth, she
claimed her an English field-
And she ruled there from that day
With a wider, wider sway.
And her light shone out on the lanas
about.
And the world’s hope was revealed.
Legion have been her foes, folly and
greed and pride.
Hunger of pomp and power, and a hun
dred things beside.
But the English, even as we,
Have striven to be free;
If they scorn one thing, 'tis the head
strong King
'Vho drove us from their side!
Taught by his wild mistakes, they have
learned their lesson well.
Ask if their rule be light! Their colonies
will tell.
Ask if their cause be loved!
Africa even has proved!
Then cast one glance on the fields of
France
here the slaughtered Anzacs fell!
That which we love, they love; that
which they hate, we hate
Weak was the riven tie, but strong is
the bond of fate.
And it binds us each to each
W’ith a tie of common speech,
And our common ward, where we stand
on guard.
O’er Freedom’s vast estate!
