Oh the men of merry, merry England, Search ye the wide world round, And take ye the best From the East to the West, Where are such to be found? The herald of fame Attends on the name, 'Tis a passport to all that is free; On the sea or the land, Ever foremost they stand, Then gaily my burthen shall be, The men of merry, merry England, The men of merry, merry England, Let the bottle pass, And toss another glass To the men of merry, merry England. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEM AND US by LUCILLE CLIFTON A MAN TO A WOMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DEATH AND FAME by ALLEN GINSBERG EARTH'S IMMORTALITIES: FAME by ROBERT BROWNING STANZAS WRITTEN ON THE ROAD BETWEEN FLORENCE AND PISA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON PROVIDE, PROVIDE by ROBERT FROST TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
