This Oar

Humming seas do deplore

This aging piece of oar

‘Neath the rocks, kissed by waves,

Comes carriage of graves

Hail, the master of seas

Plunge for the Golden Fleece

With the mermaids steering,

“Go fo'ward!” cries the King

And misfortune, indeed

Clutched to sails, whilst they bleed

Humming seas do deplore

This aging piece of oar
