ENGLAND by HENRY JOHN NEWBOLT

Poet Analysis

First Line: PRAISE THOU WITH PRAISE UNENDING
Last Line: THE FAITH THAT LIVES IN JOY.

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.
