It is like A town-grown rose with smoke-smutched outer leaves, But, in its innermost heart, daintily pure As any sister rose, that blushing blooms Beside some country home in country air. Our home is in mid-england, where the earth Mourns the lost charms of her once glorious face, Spoiled of her beauty by man's greed of gain. 't was Earth's misfortune to be wealthy here, And hold in her great heart those carbon stores, Whose worth outvies the purer diamond And that rich ore, which, smelted by. Fierce fires, Yields the most useful metal unto man, Of which he makes those instruments and tools, By which he works such wonders in the world, By which, alas he also works such woe.. The ancient Seer spake of a time to come When War shall be no more, and gentle Peace Shall bend the spear into a pruning-hook.
