So here's to the leather, the bright summer weather, The sunburn'd arms above me ; To the crowd.* that roar at a record score, To the any and all who love me. For wherever the English flag flies free On the breath of an unknown wind, You m ay bet your hat that the English bat Is not very far behind And however deep the seas that sweep Betwixt our sundered stock. You may know by the game, world over the same, Who are chips of the English block. From the “ Song of the B a t” in the A lle y n ia n (June, 1901 ).
