England, my own England
We hear your distant call To make our last great stand
Shall we wait like cowards all Neath uplifted, brutal hands?
Or fight 'til we in glory fall Like those who have for country died-
And gone along before me
To the pyre where only patriots bide
When induty's watch, they bore thee?
TO THE ENEMY
We can stay the distance
We can take the knocks And ne'er in an instance
Shall we feel the shocks But a war of lasting rattle
Can do us a world of good For we shall fight the battle:
Ill we are by ye understood That we're fighting for freedom
For peace and country anew And lives that guard our kingdom
Shall bring this t'ye too! Look! Ye banded enemy
Canst thou seest aright? Was it not Gethseneme
Where shone our guiding light?
I know not whence or where we go
But knowest I our wielding hand Shall by duty deliver the final blow
England forever Forever our England!
