[QUOTE="Skepsikyma, post: 2502926, member: 470415"] As I understand it, the second verse of the patriotic hymn "I Vow To Thee My Country" is no longer widely sung. However, I find myself unable to find a single recording of the song with that verse included. Does anybody have any idea where I might find one? The song (minus one verse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Ztac69H… The missing verse: I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And round her feet are lying the dying and the dead. I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns, I haste to thee my mother, a son among thy sons. [/QUOTE]
