Lyrics
Today a rude brief recitative
Of ships sailing the seas
Each with its special flag or ship-signal
Of unnamed heroes in their ships
Of waves spreading and spreading
Far as the eye can reach
Of dashing spray
And the winds piping and blowing
Of dashing spray
And the winds piping and blowing
Today a rude brief recitative
Of ships sailing the seas
Each with its special flag or ship-signal
Of unnamed heroes in their ships
Of waves spreading and spreading
Far as the eye can reach
Of dashing spray
And the winds piping and blowing
Of dashing spray
And the winds piping and blowing
And out of these a chant
For the sailors of all nations
Fitful like a psalm
Of sea-captains, young, old, and their mates
And of unrepentant sailors
Of the few, very choice, taciturn
Whom fate can never surprise
Nor death dismay
Quicked sparingly, without noise
By thee, old Ocean, chosen by thee
Thou sea that diggest and cullest
The race in time and widest the nations
Suckled by thee, old hastiness
Embodying thee, indomitable
Untamed as thee
Untamed as thee
And out of these a chant
For the sailors of all nations
Fitful like a psalm
Of sea-captains, young, old, and their mates
And of unrepentant sailors
Of the few, very choice, taciturn
Whom fate can never surprise
Nor death dismay
Quicked sparingly, without noise
By thee, old Ocean, chosen by thee
Thou sea that diggest and cullest
The race in time and widest the nations
Suckled by thee, old hastiness
Embodying thee, indomitable
Untamed as thee
