The poem is an ode to England, expressing deep love and admiration for the country's natural beauty, history, and cultural heritage. It argues that English poets have indeed sung of their country's glory, and that every aspect of England is dear to those who love it. The poem describes the country's landscapes, from woods and meadows to mountains and coastlines, and asserts that they are all infused with a deep sense of national identity.
