This England This lovely land that Shakespeare praised

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
