The soul of English speech and thought.

Lo! Washington and Lincoln kept
America for Englishmen!

Hurrah! The English people reigns
Across the wide Atlantic flood!
It could not bind itself in chains,
For Yankee blood is English blood!

And here the spring is queen
In robes of white and green.
And here the spring is queen
In robes of white and green.
