Nobly, nobly
Cape Saint Vincent to the North-west died away;
Sunset ran, one
glorious blood-red, reeking into
Cadiz Bay;
Bluish 'mind 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.

Robert Browning
