:O the blazing tropic night, when the wake's a welt of light<br>

:O the blazing tropic night, when the wake's a welt of light

:&nbsp;&nbsp;That holds the hot sky tame,<br>

:&nbsp;&nbsp;That holds the hot sky tame,

:And the steady fore-foot snores through the planet-powder'd floors<br>

:And the steady fore-foot snores through the planet-powder'd floors

:&nbsp;&nbsp;Where the scared whale flukes in flame!<br>

:&nbsp;&nbsp;Where the scared whale flukes in flame!
