    From land to land; and in my breast
    Spring wakens too; and my regret

    Sir Richard cried in his English pride,
    ‘We have fought such a fight for a day and a night
    As may never be fought again!
    We have won great glory, my men!
    And a day less or more
    At sea or ashore,
    We die—does it matter when?

    We have had enough of action, and of motion we,
    Rolled to starboard, rolled to larboard, when the surge was seething
    free,
