Blessed Are The Strife-Makers - ZaunköniG - 22.04.2012 Blessed Are The Strife-Makers Blessing on him that in his goodly hate Of England's breed, hath smitten and slain Her foes, Her lust of pomp, Her sloth that aped repose, The pride that cankered all Her queenly state, Her youngling brawls and feuds of olden date, Envy, the jade that pricked Her boys to blows, Folly and ease, and all the gleaming shows That lured Her vision from the eyes of fate. Never was England great as at this hour When grief hath lit Her soul, and o'er Her ways The wings of God's dark angel hover and clang, When pure by trial, She rises up in power And on hell's serpent turns Her steadfast gaze And steels Her arm to crush his loathly fang. |
