Echo to this chant of old—

Chant of knight and chant of bowman:

Kent and Sussex feared no foeman

In the valiant days of old!

Screaming gull and lark a-singing,

Bubbling brook and booming sea,

Church and cattle bells a-ringing

Swell the ghostly melody;

"Chalk and flint, Sirs, lie beneath ye,

Mingling with our dust below!
