GOD save our gracious king! Long live our noble king! God save the king! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us -- God save the king! O Lord our God, arise! Scatter his enemies, And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks; On him our hopes we fix, God save us all! Thy choicest gifts in store On him be pleased to pour; Long may he reign. May he defend our laws, And ever give us cause, To sing with heart and voice -- God save the king! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLDEN NET by WILLIAM BLAKE TICHBORNE'S ELEGY, WRITTEN IN THE TOWER BEFORE HIS EXECUTION by CHIDIOCK TICHBORNE THE STWONEN STEPS by WILLIAM BARNES THE LAST BALLADE; MASTER FRANCOIS VILLON LOQUITUR by THOMAS BEER THE DOG-WATCH by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD UPON MASTER WALTER MONTAGUE HIS RETURN FROM TRAVEL by THOMAS CAREW THE CANTERBURY TALES: THE CLERK'S PROLOGUE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE ABIDING BURG (DEDICATION: TO THE SMALL TOWNS OF CHRISTENDOM) by WILFRED ROWLAND CHILDE |
