Remember, remember The fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot; I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. A stick and a stake For George's sake So please remember the bonfire. Fifty barrels lay below To blow old England's overthrow. With a dark lantern and a lighted match That's the way old Guy was catch. Holler, boys, holler; make the bells ring! Holler, boys, holler; God save the King! A rope! a rope! to hang the Pope, A slice of cheese to choke him, A gallon of beer to drink his health And a jolly good bonfire to roast him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOHNNY SPAIN'S WHITE HEIFER by HAYDEN CARRUTH MAGDALEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO SAMUEL COLERIDGE UPON HEARING HIS 'SOME I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS..' by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SHE WEEPS OVER RAHOON by JAMES JOYCE ON THE PROPOSAL TO ERECT A MONUMENT IN ENGLAND TO LORD BYRON by EMMA LAZARUS EPITAPH IN A CHURCH-YARD IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA by AMY LOWELL |
