“Wake up, England!”

Thou careless, awake!
Thou peacemaker, fight!
Stand England for honour
And God guard the Right!

Thy mirth lay aside,
Thy cavil and play;
The fiend is upon thee
And grave is the day.

* * *

Through fire, air and water
Thy trial must be;
But they that love life best
Die gladly for thee.

* * *

Much suffering shall cleanse thee
But thou through the flood
Shalt win to salvation,
To beauty through blood.

Up, careless, awake!
Ye peacemakers, fight!
Stand England for honour,
And God guard the Right!
