Nelson - ZaunköniG - 11.04.2012 Nelson White soul of England's glory, sovereign star! Ne'er shall disaster beat her down, nor shame, While still she sees thee by the leaping flame That kindled o'er Aboukir, near and far, Or feels thee quivering through the onset's jar That filled the North with fear of England's name Or trembles with the joy of all the fame That died and cast out death at Trafalgar. Thy name was lightning, and like lightning ay Thine onset shivered, far and swift and fell: Ever thy watchword holds us, and whene'er The fierce dawn breaks, and far along the sky Roars the last battle, all shall yet be well- We keep the touch, thy hand and soul are there. |
