What have I done for youA
England my EnglandB
What is there I would not doA
England my ownC
With your glorious eyes austereD
As the Lord were walking nearD
Whispering terrible things and dearD
As the Song on your bugles blownC
EnglandB
Round the world on your bugles blownC
-
Where shall the watchful SunE
England my EnglandB
Match the master work you've doneE
England my ownC
When shall he rejoice agenC
Such a breed of mighty menC
As come forward one to tenC
To the Song on your bugles blownC
EnglandB
Down the years on your bugles blownC
-
Ever the faith enduresF
England my EnglandB
'Take and break us we are yoursF
'England my ownC
'Life is good and joy runs highG
'Between English earth and skyG
'Death is death but we shall dieG
'To the Song on your bugles blownC
'EnglandG
'To the stars on your bugles blownC
-
They call you proud and hardG
England my EnglandG
You with worlds to watch and wardG
England my ownC
You whose mailed hand keeps the keysH
Of such teeming destiniesH
You could know nor dread nor easeH
Were the Song on your bugles blownC
EnglandG
Round the Pit on your bugles blownC
-
Mother of Ships whose mightG
England my EnglandG
Is the fierce old Sea's delightG
England my ownC
Chosen daughter of the LordG
Spouse in Chief of the ancient swordG
There's the menace of the WordG
In the Song on your bugles blownC
EnglandG
Out of heaven on your bugles blownC

William Ernest Henley
