I	A
AT anchor in that harbour of the island	B
The Chinese Gate	C
We lay where terraced under green clad highland	B
The Sea town sate	C
Ships steamers sailers many a flag and nation	D
A motley crew	E
Junks sampans all East's swarming jubilation	D
I watched and knew	E
Then as I stood sweet sudden sounds out swelling	F
On the boon breeze	G
The church bells' chiming echoes rang out telling	F
Of inland peace	H
O English Chimes your music rising and falling	F
I cannot praise	I
Although to me it come sweet sad recalling	F
Dear childish days	I
Yet English Chimes last links of chains that sever	J
Worn out and done	D
That Land and Creed that I have left for ever	J
Ring on ring on	K
II	A
There is much in this sea way City	L
I have not met with before	M
But one or two things I notice	N
That I seem to have known of yore	M
In the lovely tropical verdure	M
In the streets behold I can	O
The hideous English Buildings	P
And the brutal English Man	O
III	A
I stand and watch the Soldiers	Q
Marching up and down	R
Above the fresh green Cricket ground	S
Just outside the town	R
I stand and watch and wonder	M
When in the English land	T
This poor fool Tommy Atkins	U
Will learn and understand	T
Zulus and Boers and Arabs	V
All fighting to be free	M
Men and women and children	D
Maimed and murdered has he	M
In India and in Ireland	B
He's held the People down	R
While the robber English Gentleman	D
Took pound and penny and crown	R
To make him false to his Order	M
What was it that they gave	W
To make him his brother's oppressor	M
The clothes and soul of a slave	W
O thou poor fool Tommy Atkins	U
Thou wilt be wise that day	X
When with eager eyes and clenched teeth	Y
Thou risest up to say	X
'This is our well loved England	B
And I'll free it if I can	O
From every rotten Shop keeper	M
And played out Gentleman '	Z
IV	W
'Happy Valley'	A2
'This is the love of Nature that the same peace awaits us all'	A2
There is a valley green that lies	B2
'Mid hills the summer's bower	M
The many coloured butterflies	B2
Flutter from flower to flower	M
And round one lush green side of it	C2
In gardened homes are laid	D2
With grief and care compassionate	E2
The People of the Dead	F2
There all the voicing summer day	X
They sing the happy rills	B2
No noisy sound awakes away	X
The echoes of the hills	B2
