Home-Thoughts, From the °

Nobly, nobly, Cape Saint Vincent to the Northwest died away;
Sunset ran, one glorious blood-red, reeking into Cadiz Bay;
°3Bluish ’mid the burning water, full in face Trafalgar° lay;

°4In the dimmest Northeast distance dawned 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 and pray,
While Jove’s planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.
