The Sweepers |
| Dawn off the Foreland -- the young flood making |
| Jumbled and short and steep -- |
| Black in the hollows and bright where it’s breaking -- |
| Awkward water to sweep |
| «Mines reported in the fairway |
| «Warn all traffic and detain |
| «'Sent up Unity, Claribel, Assyrian, Stormcock, and Golden Gain.» |
| Noon off the Foreland -- the first ebb making |
| Lumpy and strong in the bight |
| Boom after boom, and the golf-hut shaking |
| And the jackdaws wild with fright! |
| «Mines located in the fairway |
| «Boats now working up the chain |
| «Sweepers -- Unity, Claribel, Assyrian, Stormcock, and Golden Gain.» |
| Dusk off the Foreland -- the last light going |
| And the traffic crowding through |
| And five damned trawlers with their syreens blowing |
| Heading the whole review! |
| «Sweep completed in the fairway |
| «No more mines remain |
| «'Sent back Unity, Claribel, Assyrian, Stormcock, and Golden Gain.» |
