English text

Out in the windy West, amid the swelling flood,
Rose the sweet silvern isles, arose and proudly stood.
Green grows the meadow-grass about the pleasant isle;
Grey are the towers, far seen o’er many a woodland mile;
There in the gracious fulness of the latter days
Reigns the great Queen, whose name the Orient Oceans praise.
What merry breezes would not crack their cheeks to laud her?
What gallant captains would not give their lives to guard her?
Throned in the silvern isles, amid the swelling sea,
Reigns the great Queen, whose very name is Victory.
Reign on, Victoria, reign!
