That, with your bodies for a living shield, Guarded her slow awaking, that defied The sudden challenge of tremendous odds And fought the rushing legions to a stand - Then stark in grim endurance held the line. O little Force that in your agony Stood fast while England girt her armour on, Held high our honour in your wounded hands, Carried our honour safe with bleeding feet - We have no glory great enough for you, The very soul of Britain keeps your day! Procession? - Marches forth a Race in Arms; And, for the thunder of the crowd's applause, Crash upon crash the voice of monstrous guns, Fed by the sweat, served by the life of England, Shouting your battlecry across the world. Oh, little mighty Force, your way is ours, This land inviolate your monument. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
