Cut off from the land that bore us, Betrayed by the land…
““Cut off from the land that bore us, Betrayed by the land we find, Where the brightest have gone before us, And the dullest are most behind - Stand, stand to your glasses, steady! 'T is all we have left to prize: One cup to the dead already - Hurrah for the next that dies! http://www.charlieipcar.com/lyrics/re... ””
