Europe East

In the fireside nights of us between
Paid by our past as a winning matter
Shawls in the wind at our better force
Of full redemption in peaceful strength
Of thoughts to our year and what it stood for
We were high on simple things- like our good neighbour
In this fortune of simple dreams another year
Masts of ever-beating principal
To our patches and newest day
Asail on gifts of time to blackened water
In Trinity we do rise under
And so into as Christ’s became
Following our inner patterns
Of strength in love, and nights in view
Ever peaceful without remorse
That we love our hist’ry past
Winning fields of summer friendship
Through the tears of beloved gone
But in this trial of thirst and wonder
-it is seldom to our day
It is common command our neighbours are our friends,
And Europe light for us and keeping time
