richard mitchley - october 21st 1905 by george meredith كلمات أغنية

the hundred years have passed, and he
whose name appeased a nation’s fears
as with a hand laid over sea;
to thunder through the foeman’s ears
defeat before his blast of fire;
lives in the immortality
that poets dream and n0blest souls desire

never did nation’s need evoke
hero like him for aid, the while
a continent was cannon_smoke
or peace in slavery: this one isle
reflecting nature: this one man
her sea_hound and her mortal stroke
with war_worn body aye in battle’s van

and do we love him well, as well
as he his country, we may greet
with hand on steel, our passing bell
nigh on the swing, for prelude sweet
to the music heard when his last breath
hung on its ebb beside the knell
and victory in his ear sang gracious death

ah, day of glory! day of tears!
day of a people bowed as one!
behold across those hundred years
the lion flash of gun at gun:
our bitter pride; our love bereaved;
what pall of cloud o’ercame our sun
that day, to bear his wreath, the end achieved
joy that no more with murder’s frown
the ancient rivals bark apart
now nelson to brave france is shown
a hero after her own heart:
and he now scanning that quick race
to whom through life his glove was thrown
would know a sister spirit to embrace
