The early poems of John Clare | ||
[Hail England old England my Country & home]
Hail England old England my Country & home
Thou pride of thy Sons & thou dread of the world
Thou pride of thy Sons & thou dread of the world
Hail England old England my country & home
Now thy colours in libertys cause are unfurl'd
I Glory to hear how thy brave heroes roam
The pride of their country and dread of the world
Now thy colours in libertys cause are unfurl'd
I Glory to hear how thy brave heroes roam
The pride of their country and dread of the world
39
Then hail to thy flowers with their cannons & Guns
That to guard thee are always in motion
And the same to the sea all around thee it runs
All hail to thy waves guardian Ocean
That to guard thee are always in motion
And the same to the sea all around thee it runs
All hail to thy waves guardian Ocean
