What of the bow?
   The bow was made in England:
   Of true wood, of yew wood,
   The wood of English bows;
   So men who are free
   Love the old yew tree
   And the land where the yew tree grows.

   What of the cord?
   The cord was made in England:
   A rough cord, a tough cord,
   A cord that bowmen love;
   So we'll drain our jacks
   To the English flax
   And the land where the hemp was wove.

   What of the shaft?
   The shaft was cut in England:
   A long shaft, a strong shaft,
   Barbed and trim and true;
   So we'll drink all together
   To the gray goose feather
   And the land where the gray goose flew.

   What of the men?
   The men were bred in England:
   The bowman--the yeoman--
   The lads of dale and fell
   Here's to you--and to you;
   To the hearts that are true
   And the land where the true hearts dwell.

Beautiful ain't it ?
