No vivid wreaths entwine | B |
Tho' not for thee the zephyr blow | C |
Tho' not for thee the blossom glow | C |
Or skies unclouded shine | B |
- | |
Tho' o'er thy dark and russet vest | D |
No rainbow colors play | E |
Tho' dim thine eye tho' cold thy breast | D |
Yet be thou honor'd be thou blest | D |
E'en more than youthful May | E |

No vernal suns illume thy day | E |
Fair star of joy then brighter beam | F |
No forest notes attend thy way | E |
Then strike the lyre then make the lay | E |
To one inspiring theme | F |

Thy steps may blight the roseate plain | G |
Thy winds may chill the vale | H |
Yet blooming 'midst thy shadowy train | G |
One radiant morn adorns thy reign | G |
Hail dark October hail | H |

Thine is the day to Britons dear | I |
That bids fair Albion dry the tear | J |
With myrtles wreath her victor spear | I |
And ev'ry grief disown | K |
Oh let a people's voice prolong | L |
Proud Loyalty's triumphal song | L |
And faith and truth and valor throng | L |
Around Britannia's throne | K |
- | |
That still their monarch's heart may feel | M |
How sweet affections grateful zeal | M |
Still kindle with the patriot flame | N |
And 'glory in a Briton's name ' | - |

To the P an of rapture attuning thy voice | Q |
And suspending thy war song awhile | R |
Thou hast mourn'd for the great thou hast wept o'er the brave | S |
Thou hast bent in despair o'er the Patriot's grave | S |
But now from thy bosom repressing the sigh | O |
Dispelling the tear from thy sun darting eye | O |
Let ecstacy dawn in thy smile | R |

Yet the storm is around thee the hurricane roars | T |
But Freedom and Loyalty dwell on thy shores | T |
Defending a Monarch ador'd | U |

They are true they are dauntless their bosoms are mail | H |
In vain may Ambition their fortress assail | H |
And bright is their streamer that plays on the breeze | V |
And crimsons the wave as it floats o'er the seas | V |
And keen is their fire flashing sword | U |
Thy oak shall be firm till the tempest is past | W |
Majestic it rises disdaining the blast | W |
It is proud independent supreme | F |
The nations around thee are cheerless in night | X |
And hope has extinguished her quivering light | X |
But the sun beam of heaven on thy bosom shall rest | D |
And the planet of freedom be bright in the west | D |
Where its ray shall eternally stream | F |

Thou art like the fair vales with exuberance crown'd | Y |
Embosom'd in Appenines cheerless around | Y |
Where dwells Desolation alone | K |
Thou art like the proud laurel still blooming and green | Z |
When verdure and life have deserted the scene | Z |

Thou art like a tall column unmoulder'd by time | A2 |
That rises 'midst ruins imperial sublime | A2 |
So firm is thy rock pillar'd throne | K |

Yet the storm is around thee the hurricane roars | T |
But valor and loyalty dwell on thy shores | T |
And long may the guardians remain | G |
Firm ardent intrepid oh long may they stand | B2 |

Then the fire flag of rapine may blaze thro' the air | J |
The torch of invasion a comet may glare | J |
And the war tempest threaten in vain | G |

O Monarch of Albion ador'd by the free | P |
O temple of Liberty queen of the sea | P |
