O England! Thy foe hath hated thee long, And his hate is a deadly thing; It was held in his heart till its growth was strong, Now, words have woven it into a song For little children to sing.
It is hatred that fashioned his shot and shell, And hatred hid death in the sea; In hatred the cannon have sounded a knell O'er the little homes where the peaceful dwell, And the humble-hearted be.
