London Bridge

Engulfing England's every city and town
Is the news "London bridge is down."
A reign worth the lifetimes of most
A part of heritage and history is lost
But not from memory and being dearly missed
For the empire aims to soldier on unceased

Out goes the old
Remaining to be affectionately told
In comes the new
What fortune has it, what storms will it brew
Pray and be readied for all it will bring
That ye may gladly sing, "God save the king."
