The British Empire

The British Empire once was Worldwide And the proud monarchs glowed with monarchy pride Of their great Empire where the sun never set Though such empires they are made of tears by death An empire that stretched far from Britain's shore But empires do not last forever more It lasted perhaps a century of years The British Empire built of blood and tears The invading soldiers under constant attack And the fearless rebels won their Nations back Another empire became history The conqueror's greed is spiritual poverty And the British Empire is now of the past And nothing save for Nature seems to last.
