    With impotent endeavor,
    A wreath--a rank--a throne--a grave--
    The world goes round forever;
    I think that life is not too long,
    And therefore I determine,
    That many people read a song,
    Who will not read a sermon.

Some there be who sing it well.

We life our hearts to Heaven above,
Singing the glory of her we love,
England.
