So long as Faith with Freedom reigns And loyal Hope survive… - Alfred Austin

" "
So long as Faith with Freedom reigns
And loyal Hope survives,
And gracious Charity remains
To leaven lowly lives;
While there is one untrodden tract
For Intellect or Will,
And men are free to think and act,
Life is worth living still.

Of all our feigned affections, there is none
So hollow, selfish, and injurious,
As what we christen Patriotism.
