WHERE DOTH GREAT ENGLAND'S BOUNDARY STAND?
(An Imitation of the famous German song, "What Ist das Deutehes Vaterland ?"
Where doth Great England's boundary stand? In Europe's land ? In Asia's land ? Where islands spot the ocean's face ?. Or where uncultured tri lies have place I O no, 0 no, 0 no, O no ! Her boundary farther still must go.
Where doth Great England's boundary stand,? In Afric's land ? Columbus' land ? Or is it marked by desert sand ? By rocks, or by the sea's wide strand ? 0 no, 0 no, 0 no, O no ! Her boundary farther still must go!
Where doth Great England's boundary stand r Australia's land ? Tasmania's land? Where earth and waters teem with gold ? Where wealth is heaped in sums untold ? 0 no, 0 no, 0 no, 0 no ! Her boundary farther still must go.
Where doth Great England's boundary stand? 0 tell me in what distant land ? From shore to shore, from pole to pole, Where'er the ocean surges roll, The earth doth smile, the sun doth shineGo England there, for there is thine.
