Who hath ruled in the greenwood long!- The brave old Oak (lyrics, 1837).
- Now gold hath sway; we all obey
And a ruthless king is he;
But he never shall send our ancient friend
To be tost on the stormy sea.- The brave old Oak (lyrics, 1837).

Who stands in his pride alone!
And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
When a hundred years are gone!- The brave old Oak (lyrics, 1837).
