Invasion
The sea that, many a time, m ages past, Exiled her armies over wastes of foam Brings one strange solace to this isle at last, I Far at her gates, but her strong sons al home. Her sentries guard the shining cliffs they know. From their true folk they need no more depart. Iler own small fields and hedges round them glow; ' , , . AhcZ those who fall will fall on her deep heart. Come, then, great conqueror. Darken earth and sky, There is but one isle to crush, one doom to dree, Yet —y e t look -well at Britain's last ally. They tell strange tales of her old friend, the sea. —Alfred Noyes.
