Chalk and flint their dead are giving—

Spectres grim and spectres bold—

Marching on to cheer the living

With their battle-chant of old—

Chant of knight and chant of bowman,

Chant of squire and chant of yeoman:

Witness Norman! Witness Roman!

Kent and Sussex feared no foeman

In the valiant days of old!
