Song. The Recal Of The Hero.

Topics: classic

When Discord blew her fell alarm     On Gallia's blood-stain'd ground,     When Usurpation's giant arm     Enslaved the nations round:     The thunders of avenging Heaven     To NELSON'S chosen hand were given!     By NELSON'S chosen hand were hurl'd,     To rescue the devoted world!     The tyrant power, his vengeance dread     To Egypt's shores pursued;     At Trafalgar its hydra-head     For ever sunk subdued.     The freedom of mankind was won!     The hero's glorious task was done!     When Heaven, Oppression's ensigns furl'd,     Recall'd him from the rescued world.
