First lines

Hearken, O Mother, hearken to thy daughter! Fain would I tell thee what men tell to me, Saying that henceforth no more on any water Shall I be first or great or loved or free,

But that these others -- so the tale is spoken -- Who have not known thee all these centuries By fire and sword shall yet turn England broken Back from thy breast and beaten from thy seas,
