Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DECFEG| White soul of England s glory sovereign star | A |
| Ne er shall disaster beat her down nor shame | B |
| While still she sees thee by the leaping flame | B |
| That kindled o er Aboukir near and far | A |
| Or feels thee quivering through the onset s jar | A |
| That filled the North with fear of England s name | B |
| Or trembles with the joy of all the fame | B |
| That died and cast out death at Trafalgar | C |
| - | |
| Thy name was lightning and like lightning ay | D |
| Thine onset shivered far and swift and fell | E |
| Ever thy watchword holds us and whene er | C |
| The fierce Dawn breaks and far along the sky | F |
| Roars the last battle yet with us tis well | E |
| We keep the touch thy hand and soul are there | G |
