An angel, leashed Was loosed, and chaos Reigned, In England. War! Hunger and plague Pursued their trades, The sower strewed His seeds Abroad In England War! Twin pillars rose From pits as Broad as London is – around them fires raged Five Hundred miles or more, In England War! The lamp of life Blew out, Peace Sheathed his sword, Calm fell; Six seconds swept Ten million Years From England.
