lyrics

THE EA RTH ABIDES by William Soutar

When our loud days are chronicles
Of rancour and revenge
Whoever walks upon these hills
Shall not remember change.

He shall be moulded by their mood:
Their granite and their grass
Through secret ways of sense and blood
Into his life will pass.

And he shall love his native land;
And still an exile be
If in its name he lift a hand
To smite an enemy.

And he shall look upon the sun
And see his ensign there
If earth belong to all, and none;
Gifted as light and air.
