Explore "Home-Thoughts, from the Sea" by Robert Browning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Nobly, nobly Cape Saint Vincent to the Northwest died away; / Sunset ran, one glorious blood-red, reeking into Cadiz Bay; / Bluish 'mid the burning water, full in face Trafalgar lay; / In 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 to praise and pray, / While Jove's planet rises yonder, silent over Africa.
