[Verso 1]
Am G F G Am
Legate, I had the news last night my cohort ordered home
By ships to Portus Itius and thence by road to Rome.
I've marched the companies aboard, the arms are stowed below:
Now let another take my sword. Command me not to go!
[Verso 2]
I've served in Britain forty years, from Vectis to the Wall,
I have none other home than this, nor any life at all.
Last night I did not understand, but now the hour draws near
That calls me to my native land, I feel that land is here.
[Verso 3]
Here where men say my name was made, here where my work was done;
Here where my dearest dead are laid my wife and only son;
Here where time, custom, grief and toil, age, memory, service, love,
Have rooted me in British soil. How can I remove?
[Verso 4]
For me this land, that sea, these airs, those folk and fields suffice.
What purple Southern pomp can match our changeful Northern skies,
Black with December snows unshed or pearled with August haze
The clanging arch of steel-grey March, or June's long-lighted days?
[Verso 5]
You'll take the old Aurelian Road through shore-descending pines
Where, blue as any peacock's neck, the Tyrrhene Ocean shines.
You'll go where laurel crowns are won, but will you e'er forget
The scent of hawthorn in the sun, or bracken in the wet?
[Verso 6]
Let me work here for Britain's sake at any task you will
A marsh to drain, a road to make or native troops to drill.
Some Western camp (I know the Pict) or granite Border keep,
Mid seas of heather derelict, where our old messmates sleep.
[Verso 7]

Legate, I come to you in tears My cohort ordered home!
I've served in Britain forty years. What should I do in Rome?
Here is my heart, my soul, my mind the only life I know.
I cannot leave it all behind. Command me not to go!
