England's Faithful Ravens

We can never leave here

The memories are past down

England's faithful Ravens 

Protecting England's crown.

We've seen a history of terror

The corpses of those dead

Kings and Queens among them

Those who lost their heads.

Looking back we're sorry

For Lady Jane's high treason

As for pecking out both her eyes

There was no better reason.

We did all stand in silence

With the news of Anne Boleyn

Us ravens do have feelings

We keep them all within.

The six of us that stay here

Have legendary power

the history books will tell you

We can never leave the tower.

[Poeticpiers]

Enjoyed immensely. The ravens somehow symbolise the quintessential Englishness
Which is danger of getting lost in the multiracial society of today
