The Norsemanīs Home MP3
The
Norsemanīs home, in days gone by,
Was on the
rolling sea,
And there
his pennon did defy
The foe of
Normandy.
Then let
us neīer forget the race
Who
bravely fought and died,
Who never
filled a cravenīs grave
But ruled
the foaming tide.
The noble
spirits, bold and free,
Too narrow
was their land.
They roved
the wide expansive sea
And
quelled the Norman band.
Then let
us all in harmony
Give
honour to the brave.
The noble,
hardy, northern men
Who ruled
the stormy wave.
