A REFRAIN, by                    
First Line: Tell the tune his feet beat
Last Line: "england"" all the way!"
Subject(s): England; English


TELL the tune his feet beat
On the ground all day --
Black-burnt ground and green grass
Seamed with rocks of grey --
"England," "England," "England,"
That one word they say.
Now they tread the beech-mast.
Now the ploughland's clay,
Now the faery ball-floor of her fields in May.
Now her red June sorrel, now her new-turned hay,
Now they keep the great road, now by sheep-path stray,
Still it's "England," "England,"
"England" all the way!
