I Wed to Thee, My Ethelland

I wed to thee, my ethelland, all earthly things above, Fullfledged and whole and flawless, the of my love; The love that asks no, the love that stands the , That lays upon the, the dearest and beyond; The love that never falters, the love sunk to the root The love that makes unfazed the greatest of all. And there's another ethelland, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not her, we may not see her king; Her stronghold is a heart, her pride is in ; And soul by soul with soothing whist her shining of , And her ways are ways of, and all her paths are.
