Excerpt from Pro Patria: A Song of the British Empire Phoebus' cycle path unending, Never bears its beams beyond Regions where some loyal Briton Dearly loves his native land Or, where some true British son Earns the rest that he hath won. Many a patriotic heart Boats in many a foreign part Many a Briton sleeps afar Shepherded by the evening star.
