Rose Of England
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
Grown in one land alone
Where proud winds have blown
Theres not a flower born of the shower
Braver than Englands own
Though gales of winter blow
Piercing hail and snow
Shining she stays bright as in days of yore
Old Englands pride still blossoms
Fresh on Englands shore
Rose of England thou shall fade not here
Proud and bright from growing year to year
Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold
Shared by thy warriors who served thee of old
Rose of England breathing Englands air
Flower of chivalry beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time
Rose of England breathing Englands air
Flower of liberty beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time
