Explore "A Song of the English" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Fair is our lot -- O goodly is our heritage! / (Humble ye, my people, and be fearful in your mirth! ) / For the Lord our God Most High / He hath made the deep as dry, / He hath smote for us a pathway to the ends of all the Earth!
Yea, though we sinned -- and our rulers went from righteousness -- / Deep in all dishonour though we stained our garments' hem. / Oh be ye not dismayed, / Though we stumbled and we strayed, / We were led by evil counsellors -- the Lord shall deal with them!
