I	A
Queen born of the sea that hast borne her	B
The mightiest of seamen on earth	C
Bright England whose glories adorn her	B
And bid her rejoice in thy birth	C
As others made mothers	D
Rejoice in births sublime	E
She names thee she claims thee	F
The lordliest child of time	E
	-
II	A
All hers is the praise of thy story	F
All thine is the love of her choice	G
The light of her waves is thy glory	F
The sound of thy soul is her voice	G
They fear it who hear it	H
And love not truth nor thee	F
They sicken heart stricken	I
Who see and would not see	F
	-
III	A
The lords of thy fate and thy keepers	D
Whose charge is the strength of thy ships	J
If now they be dreamers and sleepers	D
Or sluggards with lies at their lips	J
Thy haters and traitors	D
False friends or foes descried	H
Might scatter and shatter	B
Too soon thy princely pride	H
	-
IV	-
Dark Muscovy reptile in rancour	B
Base Germany blatant in guile	K
Lay wait for thee riding at anchor	B
On waters that whisper and smile	K
They deem thee or dream thee	F
Less living now than dead	H
Deep sunken and drunken	I
With sleep whence fear has fled	H
	-
V	F
And what though thy song as thine action	I
Wax faint and thy place be not known	L
While faction is grappling with faction	I
Twin curs with thy corpse for a bone	L
They care not who spare not	H
The noise of pens or throats	M
Who bluster and muster	B
Blind ranks and bellowing votes	M
	-
VI	-
Let populace jangle with peerage	N
And ministers shuffle their mobs	O
Mad pilots who reck not of steerage	N
Though tempest ahead of them throbs	O
That throbbing and sobbing	P
Of wind and gradual wave	-
They hear not and fear not	H
Who guide thee toward thy grave	-
	-
VII	-
No clamour of cries or of parties	O
Is worth but a whisper from thee	F
While only the trust of thy heart is	O
At one with the soul of the sea	F
In justice her trust is	O
Whose time her tidestreams keep	Q
They sink not they shrink not	H
Time casts them not on sleep	Q
	-
VIII	-
Sleep thou for thy past was so royal	R
Love hardly would bid thee take heed	H
Were Russia not faithful and loyal	R
Nor Germany guiltless of greed	H
No nation in station	I
Of story less than thou	S
Re risen from prison	I
Can stand against thee now	S
	-
IX	O
Sleep on is the time not a season	I
For strong men to slumber and sleep	Q
And wise men to palter with treason	I
And that they sow tares shall they reap	Q
The wages of ages	O
Wherein men smiled and slept	H
Fame fails them shame veils them	T
Their record is not kept	H
	-
X	O
Nay whence is it then that we know it	H
What wages were theirs and what fame	U
Deep voices of prophet and poet	H
Bear record against them of shame	U
Death starker and darker	B
Than seals the graveyard grate	H
Entombs them and dooms them	T
To darkness deep as fate	H
	-
XI	O
But thou though the world should misdoubt thee	O
Be strong as the seas at thy side	H
Bind on but thine armour about thee	O
That girds thee with power and with pride	H
Where Drake stood where Blake stood	H
Where fame sees Nelson stand	H
Stand thou too and now too	H
Take thou thy fate in hand	H
	-
XII	O
At the gate of the sea in the gateway	V
They stood as the guards of thy gate	H
Take now but thy strengths to thee straightway	V
Though late we will deem it not late	H
Thy story thy glory	O
The very soul of thee	O
It rose not it grows not	H
It comes not save by sea	O
