To lift a back to bend It must not be | B |
In times like these that vaguely linger we | B |
To air our vaunts and hopes and leave our land | A |

Untended as a wild of weeds and sand | A |
Say then I come and go O women and men | C |
Of palace ploughshare easel counter pen | C |
That scareless scathless England still may stand | A |

Would years but let me stir as once I stirred | D |
At many a dawn to take the forward track | E |

Through yielding pines and serve with never a slack | E |
So loud for promptness all around outcries | F |
