William Schwenck Gilbert - Sleep On!William Schwenck Gilbert - Sleep On!
Work rating: Low


Fear no unlicensed entry, Heed no bombastic talk, While guards the British Sentry Pall Mall and Birdcage Walk. Let European thunders Occasion no alarms, Though diplomatic blunders May cause a cry "To arms!" Sleep on, ye pale civilians; All thunder-clouds defy: On Europe`s countless millions The Sentry keeps his eye! Should foreign-born rapscallions In London dare to show Their overgrown battalions, Be sure I`ll let you know. Should Russians or Norwegians Pollute our favoured clime With rough barbaric legions, I`ll mention it in time. So sleep in peace, civilians, The Continent defy; While on its countless millions The Sentry keeps his eye!
