The Collected Songs of Charles Mackay | ||
ENGLAND AND FRANCE;—1855.
I
Who dare disturb the lands,Arming their felon bands,
Lifting their blood-red hands?
Let them advance!
Two mighty states combined,
Both of one heart and mind,
Combat for humankind,—
England and France.
116
II
Friends of the rightful cause,Guardians of Europe's laws;—
Guilt in its schemes shall pause,
Awed by your glance.
Where your twin banners wave,
Freedom shall bless the slave;—
Glory shall crown the brave,—
England and France.
III
Foes of our peace and right,Tempt not the useless fight,
Vain is your arm of might,—
Vain, sword and lance;—
True hearts repeat the cry,
England and Liberty!
England and Victory!
England and France!
