A SCENE I.V ENGLAND. S3 



hie away beyond the hillside, and the chase is fleeting far ; 



And a calmer mood comes o'er me 



As 1 watch the scene before me, 

 And I look on smiling England, and the peaceful things 

 that are. 



There I see her sweetly spreading 



Where the zephyr wind is heading 

 On towards the smoking hamlet, with the river winding by ; 



And the peaceful scene appealing 



Stirs my heart with love and feeling 

 For the land we love so dearly, and the cause we count so 

 high. 



As I think, I see her moving 



Forward, forward still, and proving 

 All the strength of her great purpose, and her fight for 

 freedom still ; 



And the golden sunlight falling 



Augurs brightly for her calling, 

 While the distant horn is sounding far away behind the hill. 



Then I look, and think, and ponder, 



And my mind goes drifting yonder, 

 Where the stately heights of Windsor stand so bright against 

 the sky ; 



And the royal standard floating 



Waves its soft silk folds, denoting 

 How the great illustrious Lady holds her Court with dignity.
