Where babes, now grown to men, were wont of yore to roam.

In England's name, in Shakespeare's,—and in ours,

Who bear these trusted flowers,—

There shall be heard a cheer from many throats,

A rush and roar of notes,

As loud, and proud, as those of heavenward birds;

And they who till the ground and tend the herds

Will read our thoughts therein, and clothe the same in words.
