CHARLES THE MARTYR

 

Charles the first of England

Walked through the snow

Wrapped up against the chill

So no shake would show

Parliament chose to kill

The rightful king of the land

An outrageous act at Whitehall

Perpetrated by the puritans

An axe man on the scaffold

Executing him matter of fact

The cold January snow

Almost purifying the act

A dignified monarch 

Unwavering in his belief

His daughter Princess Elizabeth

Broken hearted died of grief

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
