Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDC EEFCGGC AAACCHC GGA CCCC| Day breaks on England down the Kentish hills | A |
| Singing in the silence of the meadow footing rills | A |
| Day of my dreams O day | B |
| I saw them march from Dover long ago | C |
| With a silver cross before them singing low | C |
| Monks of Rome from their home where the blue seas break in foam | D |
| Augustine with his feet of snow | C |
| - | |
| Noon strikes on England noon on Oxford town | E |
| Beauty she was statue cold there's blood upon her gown | E |
| Noon of my dreams O noon | F |
| Proud and godly kings had built her long ago | C |
| With her towers and tombs and statues all arow | G |
| With her fair and floral air and the love that lingers there | G |
| And the streets where the great men go | C |
| - | |
| Evening on the olden the golden sea of Wales | A |
| When the first star shivers and the last wave pales | A |
| O evening dreams | A |
| There's a house that Britons walked in long ago | C |
| Where now the springs of ocean fall and flow | C |
| And the dead robed in red and sea lilies overhead | H |
| Sway when the long winds blow | C |
| - | |
| Sleep not my country though night is here afar | G |
| Your children of the morning are clamorous for war | G |
| Fire in the night O dreams | A |
| - | |
| Though she send you as she sent you long ago | C |
| South to desert east to ocean west to snow | C |
| West of these out to seas colder than the Hebrides I must go | C |
| Where the fleet of stars is anchored and the young Star captains glow | C |
