Ye mariners of England,
That guard our native seas;
Whose flag has braved, a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze!

'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
And robes the mountain in its azure hue.

Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame,
The power of grace, the magic of a name?

Oh, how hard it is to find
The one just suited to our mind!
