Ese vago clamor que rasga el viento es la voz funeral de una campana;
Inscribed to a Dear Child:
In Memory of Golden Summer Hours
There were ten of us there on the moonlit quay,
And one on the for’ard hatch;
My grandpa is the finest man
Excep' my pa. My grandpa can
John Maynard! " Who is John Maynard?"
I.
THOU who stealest fire,
"I'm goin' to get 'er 'ome
For Christmas," said the skipper
And so, to you, who always were
Perseus, D'Artagnan, Lancelot

John Company's ships, they sailed the seas —
The Merchant's Hope and the Trade's Increase ,
