Henry John Newbolt

Long ago to thee I gave Body, soul, and all I have — - Nothing in the world I keep: All that in return I crave

Is that thou accept the slave Long ago to thee I gave — - Body, soul, and all I have. Had I more to share or save,

I would give as give the brave, Stooping not to part the heap; Long ago to thee I gave Body, soul, and all I have — -

Nothing in the world I keep.
