On him the Presents spiteful ban;
To him the far-seen times appeal:
ThraIl OF the Ages wondrous plan.
He keeps his post beside the wheel:
Whose heart should help him to be true
Whose strength loan power to his arm,
What time the voyage comes into
The dread uncharted Belt of storm?
o lonely watcher at the wheel.
What boots the mutter OF the crew.
The eaptrap scheme. the fright unleel.
Or Inutinous whisper blown to you?
It's but the pirate OF party hate.
A dotard's dream. unreal fears.
Let pass the travesty and wait
The judgment of tn impartial years.
The shores are lost. the stars blow out.
The darkness holds its TO you,
But ali you know the ship is stout
From stress of old II weathered through
Whatever skies may burst 70 flame
What stern winds smite. what seas prevail
Airs we'll: forever does the same
That twice has saved, still rule the gale.
And though the brave ship driveth down
The CULTS no bark hath ever crossed.
Though reefs are near and near may frowp
The wave-worn derelicts Of the lost:
Though friend and traitor overawed
Have left the charge 10 you alone
Fear not veer not the hand of God
still holds the wheel above your own.
