The Yeomen of England
Who were the Yeomen, the Yeomen of England?
The free men were the Yeomen, the free men of England.
Stout were the bows they bore.
When they went out to war.
Stouter their courage for the honour of England!
And nations to the Eastward.
And nations to the Westward,
As foemen did curse them,
The bowmen of England!
No other land could nurse them,
But their Motherland Old England!
And on her broad bosom did they ever thrive!
Where are the Yeomen, the Yeomen of England?
In homestead and cottage they still dwell in England!
Stained with the ruddy tan
God’s air doth give a man,
Free as the winds that fan the broad breast of England!
And nations to the Eastward.
And nations to the Westward,
As foemen did curse them,
The bowmen of England!
No other land could nurse them,
But their Motherland Old England!
And on her broad bosom did they ever thrive!
Interesting bit of early 20 Century Cinematic Opera
This is how ENGLAND and the ENGLISH used to CELEBRATE THEIR PATRIOTISM.
PROUD, STRONG, FEARLESS. AT HOME IN THEIR COUNTRY.
