    Oh, to be in England,
    Now that April's there,
    And whoever wakes in England
    Sees some morning, unaware,
    That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf,
    Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf
    While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
    In England--now.

Bind her, grind her, burn her with fire,

She shall escape, she shall aspire,
She shall arise to make men free;
She shall arise in a sacred scorn,
Lighting the lives that are yet unborn,
Spirit supernal, splendor eternal,
England!
