So where within my garden plat, I sow the choicest seed, Amid my favorite shrubs I placed The plant from Runnimede. And know not why it may not draw Sweet nutriment, the same As when within that noble clime From whence our fathers came.

Here's liberty enough for all, If they but use it well, And Magna Charta's spirit lives In even the lowliest cell, And the simplest daisy may unfold From scorn and danger freed, So make yourself at home, my friend, My flower from Runnimede.
