It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Yup. Mentioned this in one of my essays:

Which you've posted. (And thanks!)
I believe I remember that now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent poem by the English poet, who also wrote back before England devolved into disarmed barbarism: "A man can never have too many books, too much red wine or too much ammunition."
ReplyDeleteAlso this poem, for me, calls to mind a passage from the next to the last Psalm:
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people; He will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand
7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 to execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all His saints. Praise ye the Lord! --Psalm 149:4-9

"A man can never have too many books, too much red wine or too much ammunition."
