ivor gurney - the night of trafalgar lyrics

Loading...

in the wild october night+time, when the wind raved round the land
and the back+sea met the front+sea, and our doors were blocked with sand
and we heard the drub of dead+man’s bay, where bones of thousands are
we knew not what the day had done for us at trafalgár
had done
had done
for us at trafalgár

“pull hard, and make the nothe, or down we go”, one says! says he
we pulled; and bedtime brought the storm; but snug at home slept we
yet all the while our gallants after fighting through the day
were beating up and down the dark, sou’+west of cadiz bay
the dark
the dark
sou’+west of cadiz bay!

the victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore
as hard they strove, those worn+out men, upon that surly shore;
dead nelson and his half+dead crew, his foes from near and far
were rolled together on the deep that night at trafalgár!
the deep
the deep
that night at trafalgár!
