History & Politics

England

by Henry Newbolt 1862–1938

From Poems: New and Old

History & Politics

Praise thou with praise unending
The Master of the Wine;
To all their portions sending
Himself he mingled thine:

The sea-born flush of morning,
The sea-born hush of night,
The East wind comfort scorning,
And the North wind driving right:

The world for gain and giving,
The game for man and boy,
The life that joys in living,
The faith that lives in joy.
