England my motherB
Wardress of watersC
Builder of peoplesD
Maker of menE

Hast thou yet leisureB
Left for the musesF
Heed'st thou the songsmithG
Forging the rhymeH

Deafened with tumultsF
How canst thou hearkenE
Strident is factionE
Demos is loudI
-
Lazarus hungryJ
Menaces DivesF
Labour the giantK
Chafes in his holdL
-
Yet do the songsmithsF
Quit not their forgesF
Still on life's anvilM
Forge they the rhymeH
-
Still the rapt facesF
Glow from the furnaceF
Breath of the smithyG
Scorches their browsF
-
Yea and thou hear'st themN
So shall the hammersF
Fashion not vainlyJ
Verses of goldL

Lo with the ancientK
Roots of man's natureB
Twines the eternalM
Passion of songO

Ever Love fans itP
Ever Life feeds itP
Time cannot age itP
Death cannot slayQ

Deep in the world heartR
Stand its foundationsF
Tangled with all thingsF
Twin made with allS

Nay what is Nature'sF
Self but an endlessF
Strife toward musicT
Euphony rhymeH

Trees in their bloomingU
Tides in their flowingU
Stars in their circlingU
Tremble with songO

God on His throne isF
Eldest of poetsF
Unto His measuresF
Moveth the WholeV

Nations are mortalM
Fragile is greatnessF
Fortune may fly theeJ
Song shall not flyA

Song the all girdlingO
Song cannot perishX
Men shall make musicO
Man shall give earY

Not while the choricO
Chant of creationE

Poured without pauseF

Cease we to echoZ
Faintly the descantW
Whereto for everB
Dances the worldW

So let the songsmithJ
Proffer his rhyme giftW
England my motherB
Maker of menE

Gray grows thy count'nanceF
Full of the agesF
Time on thy foreheadW
Sits like a dreamA2

Song is the potionE
All things renewingO
Youth's one elixirB
Fountain of mornE

Thou at the world loomB2
Weaving thy futureB
Fitly may'st temperB
Toil with delightW

Deemest thou labourC2
Only is earnestW
Grave is all beautyW
Solemn is joyD2
-
Song is no baubleM
Slight not the songsmithJ
England my motherB
Maker of menE
