Hark! The Hollow Woods Resounding.
A GLee.
Hark! the hollow woods resounding,
Echo to the hunter's cry,
Hark! how all the vales resounding,
To his cheering voice reply;
Now so swift o'er hills aspiring,
He pursues the gay delight,
Distant woods and plains retiring,
Seem to vanish from his sight.
Echo to the hunter's cry,
Hark! how all the vales resounding,
To his cheering voice reply;
Now so swift o'er hills aspiring,
He pursues the gay delight,
Distant woods and plains retiring,
Seem to vanish from his sight.
Flying, still and still pursuing,
See the fox, the hounds, the men,
Cunning cannot save from ruin,
Free from refuge, wood, or den;
Now they kill him, homeward hie them,
To a jovial night's repast,
Thus no sorrow e'er comes nigh them,
Health continues to the last.

Health continues to the last.
England, Europe's Glory.
There is a land amidst the waves
Whose sons are famed in story,
Who never were, or will be slaves,
Nor shrink from death or glory!
Then strike the harp, and bid it swell,
With flowing bowl before ye,
Here's to the land in which we dwell,
To England, Europe's glory.
Whose sons are famed in story,
Who never were, or will be slaves,
Nor shrink from death or glory!
Then strike the harp, and bid it swell,
With flowing bowl before ye,
Here's to the land in which we dwell,
To England, Europe's glory.
Blest land, beyond all lands afar,
Encircled in the waters,
With lion-hearted sons in war,
And beauty's peerless daughters.
Go ye, whose discontented hearts
Disdain the joys before ye,
Go, seek a home in foreign parts,
Like England, Europe's glory.
Encircled in the waters,
With lion-hearted sons in war,
And beauty's peerless daughters.
Go ye, whose discontented hearts
Disdain the joys before ye,
Go, seek a home in foreign parts,
Like England, Europe's glory.
