Thou dear and most high Victory, / Whose home is the unvanquished sea, / Whose fluttering wind-blown garments keep / The very freshness, fold, and sweep / They wore upon the galley's prow, / By what unwonted favor now / Hast thou alighted in this place, / Thou Victory of Samothrace?
O thou to whom in countless lands / With eager hearts and striving hands / Strong men in their last need have prayed, / Greatly desiring, undismayed, / And thou hast been across the fight / Their consolation and their might, / Withhold not now one dearer grace, / Thou Victory of Samothrace!
