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;
I the dimmest north-east distance, dawned Gibraltar grand and gray;
"Here and here did England help me, - how can I help England?" - say,
Whose turns as I, this evening, turn to God to praise and pray,
While Jove's planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.
