First Line: O heavy day for all who follow after
Last Line: And to the scents of eve add new delight.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): England; Happiness; English; Joy; Delight
O heavy day for all who follow after,
To think what our dear England may become!
Where Peace now reigns shall flow discordant laughter,
And witless mirth where nightingales are dumb!—
No more for us the beetle's drowsy hum
Shall break the stillness of the Summer night
And to the scents of eve add new delight.
