The proud, the cold untroubled heart of stone, that never mused on sorrow but its own.
The meteor flag of England Shall yet terrific burn, Till danger's troubled night depart, And the star of peace return.
Men of England! who inheritRights that cost your sires their blood.
Coming events cast their shadows before.
O leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree.
Ye are brothers! ye are men! And we conquer but to save.
