Comrades comrades have me buried	A
Like a warrior of the sea	B
With a flag across my breast	C
And my sword upon my knee	B
	-
Steering out from vanished headlands	B
For a harbor on no chart	D
With the winter in the rigging	E
With the ice wind in my heart	D
	-
Down the bournless slopes of sea room	F
With the long gray wake behind	G
I have sailed my cruiser steady	B
With no pilot but the wind	G
	-
Battling with relentless pirates	B
From the lower seas of Doom	F
I have kept the colors flying	E
Through the roar of drift and gloom	F
	-
Scudding where the shadow foemen	B
Hang about us grim and stark	H
Broken spars and shredded canvas	B
We are racing for the dark	H
	-
Sped and blown abaft the sunset	I
Like a shriek the storm has caught	J
But the helm is lashed to windward	K
And the sails are sheeted taut	L
	-
Comrades comrades have me buried	A
Like a warrior of the night	M
I can hear the bell buoy calling	E
Down below the harbor light	M
	-
Steer in shoreward loose the signal	N
The last watch has been cut short	O
Speak me kindly to the islesmen	B
When we make the foreign port	O
	-
We shall make it ere the morning	E
Rolls the fog from strait and bluff	P
Where the offing crimsons eastward	K
There is anchorage enough	P
	-
How I wander in my dreaming	E
Are we northing nearer home	Q
Or outbound for fresh adventure	R
On the reeling plains of foam	Q
	-
North I think it is my comrades	B
Where one heart beat counts for ten	B
Where the loving hand is loyal	N
And the women's sons are men	B
	-
Where the red auroras tremble	N
When the polar night is still	S
Lighting home the worn seafarers	B
To their haven in the hill	S
	-
Comrades comrades have me buried	A
Like a warrior of the North	T
Lower me the long boat stay me	B
In your arms and bear me forth	T
	-
Lay me in the sheets and row me	B
With the tiller in my hand	U
Row me in below the beacon	B
Where my sea dogs used to land	U
	-
Has your captain lost his cunning	E
After leading you so far	V
Row me your last league my sea kings	B
It is safe within the bar	V
	-
Shoulder me and house me hillward	U
Where the field lark makes his bed	U
So the gulls can wheel above me	B
All day long when I am dead	U
	-
Where the keening wind can find me	B
With the April rain for guide	U
And come crooning her old stories	B
Of the kingdoms of the tide	U
	-
Comrades comrades have me buried	U
Like a warrior of the sun	B
I have carried my sealed orders	B
Till the last command is done	B
	-
Kiss me on the cheek for courage	W
There is none to greet me home	Q
Then farewell to your old lover	R
Of the thunder of the foam	Q
	-
For the grass is full of slumber	R
In the twilight world for me	B
And my tired hands are slackened	U
From their toiling on the sea	B
