A SONG OF ENGLAND
Sir,—Would you please publish the first verse of "A Song of England/' by Alfred Noves? M.G.S. There is a song of England that none shall ever sinp, So sweet it is ami fleet it is That none whose words are not as fleet as birds iiiioii the wing, Aiul regal as her . mountains, And radiant as the fountains Of rainbow-coloured sea-spray that every wave can niiift Against the cliffs of England, the sturdy cliffs of England. Could more than seem to dream of it, Or catch one flyinsr gleam of it,, t Above the seas of England that never cease to sing.
