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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;And the steady fore-foot snores through the planet-powder'd floors&nbsp;

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

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

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