There's a schooner out from Kingsport	A
Through the morning's dazzle gleam	B
Snoring down the Bay of Fundy	A
With a norther on her beam	B
	-
How the tough wind springs to wrestle	C
When the tide is on the flood	A
And between them stands young daring	D
Arnold master of the Scud	A
	-
He is only Martin's youngster	E
To the Minas coasting fleet	A
Twelve year old and full of Satan	F
As a nut is full of meat	A
	-
With a wake of froth behind him	G
And the gold green waste before	H
Just as though the sea this morning	D
Were his boat pond by the door	H
	-
Legs a straddle grips the tiller	E
This young waif of the old sea	I
When the wind comes harder only	I
Laughs Hurrah and holds her free	I
	-
Little wonder as you watch him	G
With the dash in his blue eye	J
Long ago his father called him	G
Arnold Master on the sly	J
	-
While his mother's heart foreboded	A
Reckless father makes rash son	F
So to day the schooner carries	K
Just these two whose will is one	F
	-
Now the wind grows moody shifting	D
Point by point into the east	A
Wing and wing the Scud is flying	D
With her scuppers full of yeast	A
	-
And the father's older wisdom	L
On the sea line has descried	A
Like a stealthy cloud bank making	D
Up to windward with the tide	A
	-
Those tall navies of disaster	E
The pale squadrons of the fog	M
That maraud this gray world border	E
Without pilot chart or log	N
	-
Ranging wanton as marooners	K
From Minudie to Manan	F
Heave to and we'll reef my master	E
Cries he when no will of man	F
	-
Spills the foresail but a clumsy	K
Wind flaw with a hand like stone	F
Hurls the boom round In an instant	A
Arnold Master there alone	F
	-
Sees a crushed corpse shot to seaward	A
With the gray doom in its face	K
And the climbing foam receives it	A
To its everlasting place	K
	-
What does Arnold Master think you	O
Whimper like a child for dread	A
That's not Arnold Foulest weather	E
Strongest sailors ever bred	A
	-
And this slip of taut sea faring	P
Grows a man who throttles fear	Q
Let the storm and dark in spite now	F
Do their worst with valor here	R
	-
Not a reef and not a shiver	E
While the wind jeers in her shrouds	K
And the flauts of foam and sea fog	M
Swarm upon her deck in crowds	K
	-
Flies the Scud like a mad racer	E
And with iron in his frown	F
Holding hard by wrath and dreadnought	A
Arnold Master rides her down	F
	-
Let the taffrail shriek through foam heads	K
Let the licking seas go glut	A
Elsewhere their old hunger baffled	A
Arnold's making for the Gut	A
	-
Cleft sheer down the sea wall mountains	K
Give that one port on the coast	A
Made the Basin lies in sunshine	F
Missed the little Scud is lost	A
	-
Come now fog horn let your warning	D
Rip the wind to starboard there	S
Suddenly that burly throated	A
Welcome ploughs the cumbered air	S
	-
The young master hauls a little	C
Crowds her up and sheets her home	T
Heading for the narrow entry	K
Whence the safety signals come	L
	-
Then the wind lulls and an eddy	K
Tells of ledges where away	U
Veers the Scud sheet free sun breaking	D
Through the rifts and there's the bay	U
	-
Like a bird in from the storm beat	A
As the summer sun goes down	F
Slows the schooner to her moorings	K
By the wharf at Digby town	F
	-
All the world next morning wondered	A
Largest letters there it stood	A
Storm in Fundy A Boy's Daring	D
Arnold Master of the Scud	A
