First down fell the mast, Then the anchor sank. The oars were lost. Then the rudder did break. From stern to bow, With every wave, the boat did shake. No sun, no moon, no stars, But darkness all around.
Sharks are gathered, For they smell the blood.
The captain abandoned ship, On a leaky raft. Confusion and fear, He left behind. Each to his own, The sailors heard the moan. Before swallowed by the deed, Shall perish we. The albatross, we shut not.
