For things we never mention	A
For Art misunderstood	B
For excellent intention	A
That did not turn to good	B
From ancient tales' renewing	C
From clouds we would not clear	D
Beyond the Law's pursuing	C
We fled and settled here	E
	-
We took no tearful leaving	C
We bade no long good byes	F
Men talked of crime and thieving	C
Men wrote of fraud and lies	F
To save our injured feelings	F
'T was time and time to go	G
Behind was dock and Dartmoor	E
Ahead lay Callao	H
	-
The widow and the orphan	A
That pray for ten per cent	I
They clapped their trailers on us	F
To spy the road we went	I
They watched the foreign sailings	F
They scan the shipping still	H
And that's your Christian people	H
Returning good for ill	H
	-
God bless the thoughtfull islands	F
Where never warrants come	J
God bless the just Republics	F
That give a man a home	K
That ask no foolish questions	F
But set him on his feet	L
And save his wife and daughters	F
From the workhouse and the street	L
	-
On church and square and market	M
The noonday silence falls	F
You'll hear the drowsy mutter	E
Of the fountain in our halls	F
Asleep amid the yuccas	F
The city takes her ease	F
Till twilight brings the land wind	N
To the clicking jalousies	F
	-
Day long the diamond weather	E
The high unaltered blue	H
The smell of goats and incense	F
And the mule bells tinkling through	H
Day long the warder ocean	A
That keeps us from our kin	O
And once a month our levee	P
When the English mail comes in	O
	-
You'll find us up and waiting	C
To treat you at the bar	E
You'll find us less exclusive	Q
Than the average English are	E
We'll meet you with a carriage	R
Too glad to show you round	S
But we do not lunch on steamers	F
For they are English ground	S
	-
We sail o' nights to England	T
And join our smiling Boards	F
Our wives go in with Viscounts	F
And our daughters dance with Lords	F
But behind our princely doings	F
And behind each coup we make	U
We feel there's Something Waiting	C
And we meet It when we wake	U
	-
Ah God One sniff of England	T
To greet our flesh and blood	V
To hear the traffic slurring	C
Once more through London mud	V
Our towns of wasted honour	E
Our streets of lost delight	W
How stands the old Lord Warden	A
Are Dover's cliffs still white	W
