Page:Ode on the day of the coronation of King Edward VII.djvu/15



Dominion fold in fold:

Like to that immemorial regal stone

Thy namesake from the northland reft away,

Symbol of sovereignty and spoil of fray,

And closed in England's throne.

So wide of girth this little cirque of gold,

So great we are, and old.

Proud from the ages are we come, O King;
