Rudyard Kipling: England'S on the anvil--hear the hammers ring-- Cl



England'S on the anvil--hear the hammers ring--
Clanging from the Severn to the Tyne!
Never was a blacksmith like our Norman King--
England's being hammered, hammered, hammered into line!

England's on the anvil! Heavy are the blows!
(But the work will be a marvel when it's done. )
Little bits of Kingdoms cannot stand against their foes.
England's being hammered hammered, hammered into one!

There shall be one people--it shall serve one Lord--
(Neither Priest nor Baron shall escape! )
It shall have one speech and law, soul and strength and sword.
England's being hammered, hammered, hammered into
shape!
