English poetry; Patriotic poetry, English
The Little Black Rose shall be red at last 229
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone 212
The news frae Moidart cam’ yestreen 205
There are boys to-day in the city slum and the home of wealth
and pride 300
There’s a land, a dear land, where the rights of the free 92
There was a sound of revelry by night 67
There was heard the sound of a coming foe 71
The seaman slept--all nature sleeps; a sacred stillness
there 293
The waves are dashing proudly down 267
The weary day rins down and dies 126
They called Thee MERRY ENGLAND in old time 50
They lie unwatched, in waste and vacant places 303
They say that ‘war is hell,’ the ‘great accursed’ 109
This England never did, nor never shall 11
This royal throne of kings, this sceptr’d isle 11
Thy voice is heard through rolling drums 83
To-day the people gather from the streets 120
To horse! to horse! the standard flies 189
Toll for the Brave 38
To mute and to material things 51
To my true king I offered free from stain 77
To Thee, our God, we fly 99
To the Lords of Convention ’twas Claver’se who spoke 187
Truth, winged and enkindled with rapture 129
Unhappy Erin, what a lot was thine 231
Vanguard of Liberty, ye men of Kent 48
War-worn, sun-scorched, stained with the dust of toil 248
We cheered you forth--brilliant and kind and brave 286
We come from tower and grange 134
We come in arms, we stand ten score 97
Welcome, wild North-easter 94
‘Well done!’ The cry goes ringing round the world 287
We’ll o’er the water, we’ll o’er the sea 201
What are the bugles saying 278
Whate’er of woe the Dark may hide in womb 123
What have I done for you 137
What of the bow 143
When Britain first at Heaven’s command 33
When I have borne in memory what has tamed 47
