English poem
ELEGY IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD
by G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936)
The men that worked for England They have their graves at home: And bees and birds of England About the cross can roam.
But they that fought for England, Following a falling star, Alas, alas for England They have their graves afar.
And they that rule in England, In stately conclave met, Alas, alas for England They have no graves as yet.
