‘O King, the battle goes this hour
As when two seas are met in might,
When billow billow doth devour,
And tide with tide doth fight:
As when two seas are met in might,
When billow billow doth devour,
And tide with tide doth fight:
‘I watch the waves of war; but none
Can see what banners rise or fall;
Sea-clouds on rush, sea-crests on run
And blood is over all.’
Can see what banners rise or fall;
Sea-clouds on rush, sea-crests on run
And blood is over all.’
