But every now and then we might have a simply exquisite poetic fancy like this!
The poem is inspired by William Blake, but also by the legendary English folk hero, Wat Tyler; from the inspiring ‘Peasant’s Revolt’ of 1381. Frank Turner’s song, ‘Sons of Liberty,’ also reminds us of this famous man of freedom.

Once lost, now found, O great celestial bride!
Jerusalem, the fallen one, pursued beyond the hills
Is now recrowned, our chosen one:
O Albion, it is thee alone performs our will!
