| or Cape of Storms | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Where no sound was ever heard | C |
| But the ocean's hollow roar | D |
| As it breaks in foamy mountains | E |
| Along the rugged shore | D |

| Where ev'ry wind of heaven | F |
| That has terror on its wings | G |
| Howls to the startled echo | H |
| That through each cavern rings | G |
| - | |

| As it whirls amidst the blast | J |

| Where no sail has ever wandered | C |
| Beneath that troubled sky | K |
| Frowns the stately Cape of Storms | I |
| O'er the drear immensity | C |

| - | |
| Above whose hoary summit | C |
| Where captive thunders sleep | L |
| Three huge black clouds for ever | M |
| Their dreadful station keep | L |

| We have gazed on what no other | M |
| Has ever gazed upon | N |
| We have braved the angry spirits | I |
| And our victory is won | F |

| We have conquered all the dangers | I |
| Of a yet unfathom'd sea | I |
| And we bring the prize of glory | I |
| Our country Spain to thee | I |
