hailed the morning star
 * Above the Spanish shore;
 * Our cannon's random roar

Then woke black Trafalgar.
 * Where our foes

Lay in the crescent bay We watched the fog bank gray Melt silently away
 * As the sun uprose.

Then rolled the deep alarm— The foeman's call to arm; And swiftly from our van There pass'd from man to man,
 * "They will fight."

With hearts that beat to chase
 * We caught the growing gale,
 * And 'neath a press of sail

Bore up to take our place
 * On the right.
