Henry Fothergill Chorley. (1808–1872)

A song to the oak, the brave old oak,
Who hath ruled in the greenwood long!

The brave old Oak.

    Now gold hath sway; we all obey
  And a ruthless king is he;
But he never shall send our ancient friend
  To be tost on the stormy sea.

The brave old Oak.

    Then here’s to the oak, the brave old oak,
  Who stands in his pride alone!
And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
  When a hundred years are gone!

The brave old Oak.
