Speak for thou hast voice, perpetual seal
Lift up thy surges, with some signal word

For whom nations thrilling heart is stiIrd.
Down to thy waves they went in Joyous pride,
They ,rod with steadfast feet thy bilowy way
The eyes Of wondering men beheld them hide
Swift In the airowy distance-where are they
Ddst thou arise upon that mighty frame,
Mad that the strength Of with thee should strive
And proud thy rival element to tame,
Didst swallow them in conscious depths alive
Or, shorn and powerless, has thou babe them lie
Their stately ship carcase Of the foam
Where still they watch the and the sky
And fondly dream that they have yet home
