This England

This lovely land that Shakespeare praised so well;That Wordsworth worshiped for her magic spell;This land of specious cities, and of fanesPointing to Heaven, amid green-pastured plains;

This land of quiet rivers moving to the sea;Of wooded grandeur, nigh to majesty;Of highways rambling over hills and dales,Of rose-crowned hedgerows in sequestered vales;

This land of gentle seasons that bestowSurpassing beauty as they come and go;Unfettered still it shall remain, and free,This land that shows what loveliness can be!
