Fate's Discourtesy |
| Be well assured that on our side |
| Our challenged oceans fight |
| Though headlong wind and leaping tide |
| Make us their sport to-night |
| Through force of weather, not of war |
| In jeopardy we steer |
| Then welcome Fate’s discourtesy |
| Whereby it shall appear |
| How in all time of our distress |
| As in our triumph too |
| The game is more than the player of the game |
| And the ship is more than the crew! |
| Be well assured, though wave and wind |
| Have mightier blows in store |
| That we who keep the watch assigned |
| Must stand to it the more; |
| And as our streaming bows dismiss |
| Each billow’s baulked career |
| Sing welcome Fate’s discourtesy |
| Whereby it is made clear |
| How in all time of our distress |
| As in our triumph too |
| The game is more than the player of the game |
| And the ship is more than the crew! |
| Be well assured that on our side |
| Our challenged oceans fight |
| Though headlong wind and leaping tide |
| Make us their sport to-night |
| Through force of weather, not of war |
| In jeopardy we steer |
| Then welcome Fate’s discourtesy |
| Whereby it shall appear |
| How in all time of our distress |
| As in our triumph too |
| The game is more than the player of the game |
| And the ship is more than the crew! |
