Home-Thoughts, From The Sea
Nobly, nobly Cape Saint Vincent to the North - west 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 North - east distance dawn`d Gibraltar grand and gray;
`Here and here did England help me: how can I help England?` - say,
Whoso turns as I, this evening, turn to God to praise and pray,
While Jove`s planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.
