GOD SAVE THE KING.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE SAD,
There is the song of the sea-wind, where billows, auswering glisten: "
Greeting in regal crescendo,-greeting a regal day-- Bidding its echoes to hasten, that morning "say pause and listen,
Thousands of leagues away!
Thousands or tens, does it matter! or seas that mightily, thunder i
Never the sun in his setting deserts the British hills! And not in a blinded emotion. born of a far-iff wonder,.
Outbursts the cheer that thrills!
"
Not just alone as his subjects, though of a truth we be loyal,
Not as a passively driven, unthinking human herd,→ But da'a reasoning people, we offer a sovereign royal
Love that our hearts hath stirred.
Speak to him. breezes of summer Speak to him, wind of the oceaa !
Take him the Orient's message, before his feet to "fling: And take to the highest Heaven, to the Lord of his land's devotion,
