GUEST,Modette BS: WAV with Pics (410* d) RE: WAV with Pics 28 Oct 22


I'll take note, mudelf. However, as the dogger has clearly insulted me ('if you can count'), I must point out that said dogger's oeuvre is just a mere flippancy when compared to the rhymes of Patience Strong.

Here's one of her greatest works, 'The Company of Nations'.

'A group of islands, loved and lovely, first a colony -
    Strung out like a necklace flung across the southern seas -
Now a beautiful Dominion, God's own gift to us -
    A jewel in the Israel crown, a pearl most marvellous
Rich in churches, farms and cities; pastures, cattle, sheep -
    where this people British-bred their ancient laws may keep.


First of Britain's family to come to Britain's aid -
    In two great world-wide wars - the memory shall not fade -
From the Mother heart that beats in London's sanctuary.
    Across the world we hail New Zealand - one of our company.'
