Alfred Austin - A Dream Of England
Work rating: Low

I had a dream of England. Wild and weird,
 The billows ravened round her, and the wrack,
 Darkening and dwindling, blotted out the track,
 Then flashed on her a bolt that scorched and seared.
 She, writhing in her ruin, rolled, and reared,
 Then headlonged unto doom, that drove her back
 To welter on the waters, blind and black,
 A homeless hulk, a derelict unsteered.
 Wailing I woke, and through the dawn descried,
 Throned on the waves that threatened to o`erwhelm,
  The England of my dream resplendent ride,
 And armoured Wisdom, sovran at the helm,
 Through foaming furrows of the future guide
 To wider empire a majestic Realm.
