In the wild October night-time, when the wind raved round the br land, br And the Back-sea met the front-sea, and our doors were blocked br with sand, br And we heard the drub of dead-man's bay, where the bones of br thousands are, br We knew not what the day had done for us at Trafalgar. br Had done, br Had done, br For us at Trafalgar! br br 'Pull hard, and make the nothe, or down we go!' One says, br says he. br We pulled; and bedtime brought the storm; but snug at home br slept we. br Yet all the while our gallants after fighting through the day, br Were beating up and down the dark, sou'west of Cadiz Bay.
