## The words

Men of Belgium! Honour’s own! Ye who saved the  
Holy Grail, Ye who died for Freedom’s Crown,  
Hail, ye brave, for ever: hail! Wives of  
Belgium! who to Death Paid the toll of Mother’s  
wail, Bound with widowed sorrow’s wreath The  
brows of Death, ye dear saints: hail!  
Maids of Belgium! ye who gazed At worse than  
sullen Death, and pale In terror,  
yet with eyes undazed, Smiled on at Hope - ye  
sweethearts: Hail! Maids of Belgium!  
Sweethearts, Hail!  
Land of Belgium! earth and sky For evermore  
shall tell thy tale. The morning comes!  
Thou shalt not die! Hail! Thou Sad Immortal:  
Hail! Hail! Thou Sad Immortal: Hail!
