Hope:   “Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,

            How shall we extol thee who are born of thee?

            Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;

            God who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.”

A.C. Benson – English author, poet and essayist –

From “Land of Hope and Glory; music by Sir Edward Elgar)
