WHO HAS A FEAR FOR ENGLAND NOW?

[_]

Tune—“There is nae luck about the house.”

I

Who has a fear for England now?
Who has a care at all,
When at a word her gallant sons
All muster at her call?
There are no such brave-hearted men,
Search all the wide world through,
No truer men there are on earth,
For what they say they'll do.
Chor. Who has a fear for England now? &c.

II

They come from ledger, loom, and mine,
From forge, and plough, and mill,
From hidden dale, and mountain brown,
Green valley, wood, and hill.

83

The isle rings with their martial bands,
As out their thousands teem,
And the green hedgerows, as they pass,
With flashing bayonets gleam.
Chor. Who has a fear for England now? &c.
