Victoria sits on her earth-rounded throne!
From the waters that freeze into mountains of stone
To the fire-flashing shores of the tropical zone,
Her kingdoms are free.
Where her ships plough the deep
Let no memories sleep;
Where the thunder hangs mute
Let her cannon salute
Every wave of the sea.
Rejoice, O brave legions
In the sun-gilded regions!
There reigns she afar.
Rejoice, hardy souls
At the furthermost poles!
Her children ye are.
