II. For the true path man’s troubled soul is groping:

Be thou to him as tranquil lights that burn

Far off to some tired traveler still hoping

Homeward at last from exile to return.

Crown the long magic of thy guided story

With sovereign counsels generous and free,

And let it be thy final page of glory

That all men’s hearts, O England, turn to thee.
