| | | NOBLY, nobly Cape Saint Vincent to the northwest died away; | |
| Sunset ran, one glorious blood-red, reeking into Cadiz Bay; | |
| Bluish mid the burning water, full in face Trafalgar lay; | |
| In the dimmest northeast distance, dawned Gibraltar grand and gray; | |
| “Here and here did England help me,—how can I help England?”—say, | 5 |
| Whoso turns as I, this evening, turn to God to praise and pray, | |
| While Jove’s planet rises yonder, silent over Africa. | | | | |
