and Northern Ireland

2. This England This lovely land that Shakespeare praised so well;
That Wordsworth worshiped for her magic spell;
This land of specious cities, and of fanes
Pointing to Heaven, amid green-pastured plains;
This land of quiet rivers moving to the sea;
Of wooded grandeur, nigh to majesty;
Of highways rambling over hills and dales,
Of rose-crowned hedgerows in sequestered vales;
This land of gentle seasons that bestow
Surpassing beauty as they come and go;
Unfettered still it shall remain, and free,
This land that shows what loveliness can be!
Allan Junior
