MY Countrymen though we are young as yet	A
With little history nought to show	B
Of lives enleagued against a foreign foe	B
Torn flags and triumph glory or regret	A
Still some things make our kinship sweet	C
Some deeds inglorious but of royal worth	D
As when with tireless arms and toiling feet	C
We felled the tree and tilled the earth	D
	-
Tis no great way that we have travelled since	E
Our feet first shook the storied dust	F
Of England from them when with love and trust	F
In one another and large confidence	G
In God above our ways were ta en	H
Neath alien skies each keeping step in mind	I
And soul and purpose to one trumpet strain	J
One urging music on the wind	I
	-
Yet tears of ours have wet the dust have wooed	K
Some subtle green things from the ground	L
Like violets only violets never wound	L
Such tendrils round the heart the solitude	K
Has seen young hearts with love entwine	M
And many gentle friends gone down to death	N
Have mingled with the dust and made divine	M
The very soil we tread beneath	O
	-
Thus we have learned to love our country learned	P
To treasure every inch from foam	Q
To foam to title her with name of Home	Q
To light in her regard a flame that burned	P
No land in vain that calls the eyes	R
Of men to glory heights and old renown	S
That wild winds cannot quench nor thunder skies	R
Make dim nor many waters drown	S
	-
Six hearths are circled round our shores and round	L
The six hearths group a common race	T
Though leagues divide the one light on their face	T
The same old songs and stories rise the sound	L
Of kindred voices and the dear	U
Old English tongue make music and men move	V
From hearth to hearth with little fear	U
Of aught save open arms and love	W
	-
To keep these hearth fires red to keep the door	X
Of each house wide that is our part	Y
Surely tis noble Surely heart to heart	Y
God s love upon us and one goal before	X
Is something worth something to win	Z
Our hearts to effort something it were good	A2
To garner soon and something twould be sin	Z
To cast aside in wanton mood	K
	-
My Countrymen hats off with heart and will	B2
Thank God that you are free and then	H
Arise and don your nationhood like men	H
And manlike face the world for good or ill	B2
Peace be to you and in the tide	C2
Of years great plenty till Time s course be run	D2
Six Ploughmen in the same field side by side	C2
But if need be six Swords as one	D2
