Rose Of England

Rose of England, thou shalt fade not here
Proud and bright from rolling year to year
Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold
Shed by thy warriors who served thee of old
Rose of England, breathing England’s air
Flower of Chivalry beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shalt blossom to the end of Time
Rose of England, thou shalt fade not here
Proud and bright from rolling year to year
Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold
Shed by thy warriors who served thee of old
Rose of England, breathing England’s air
Flower of liberty beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shalt blossom to the end of Time
