Ah, leave the hills of Arcady, + 

Thy satyrs and their wanton play, + 

This modern world hath need of thee. + 

No nymph or Faun indeed have we, + 

For Faun and nymph are old and grey, + 

Ah, leave the hills of Arcady! + 

This is the land where liberty + 

Lit grave-browed Milton on his way, + 

This modern world hath need of thee! + 

A land of ancient chivalry + 

Where gentle Sidney saw the day, + 

Ah, leave the hills of Arcady! + 

This fierce sea-lion of the sea, + 

This England lacks some stronger lay, + 

This modern world hath need of thee! + 

Then blow some trumpet loud and free, + 

And give thine oaten pipe away, + 

Ah, leave the hills of Arcady! + 

This modern world hath need of thee! + 
