In
days gone by father gave to son
What
old grandsires had always given
To
the young bairn-teams - the twain of memory and tradition:
Faith
in Triune God, homeplace and hearth,
Story,
song, and sword. The horse and the
saddle,
And
the corn and the garden. The forebears’
wisdom,
And
the kinsfolks’ craft to earn his bread.
What
will he leave him now
But
a hunger keen for rights
And
a closet of consumer goods?
--
Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the
Souð!
Anathema
to the Union!
