NORTHUMBERLAND
Love, that the league of Ocean spanned,Heard him as face to face;"What would he give, Northumberland,To share our pride of place?"
The flag that goes the world aroundAnd flaps on every breezeHas never gladdened fairer groundOr kinder hearts than these.So when the loving-cup's in handAnd Honour leads the cry,They know not old NorthumberlandWho'll pass her memory by.
