THEY were islanders our fathers were	A
And they watched the encircling seas	B
And their hearts drank in the ceaseless stir	A
And the freedom of the breeze	B
Till they chafed at their narrow bounds	C
	-
And longed for the sweep of the main	D
And they fretted and fumed like hounds	C
Held in within sight of the plain	D
And the play	E
And the prey	E
	-
	-
So they built them ships of wood and sailed	F
To many an unknown coast	G
They braved the storm and battles hailed	F
And danger they loved most	G
Till the tiny ships of wood	H
	-
Grew powerful on the globe	I
And the new found lands for good	H
They wrapped in a wondrous robe	I
Of bold design	J
Our brave ensign	K
	-
	-
And islanders yet in a way are we	L
Our knowledge is still confined	M
And we hear the roar of encircling sea	L
To be crossed in the ship of the mind	M
And we dream of lands afar	N
	-
Unknown unconquered yet	O
And we chafe at the bounds there are	N
And our spirits fume and fret	O
For the prize	P
Of the wise	P
	-
	-
But we'll never do aught I know unless	Q
We are brave as our sires of old	R
And face like them the bitterness	S
Of the battle and storm and cold	R
Unless we boldly stand	T
	-
When men would hold us back	U
With the helm board in our hand	T
And our eyes to the shining track	U
Of what may be	L
Beyond the sea	L
	-
	-
There are rocks out there in that wide wide sea	L
'Neath many a darkling stream	V
And souls that once sailed out bold and free	L
Have been carried away in a dream	V
For they never came back again	W
	-
On the deep the ships were lost	X
But in spite of the danger and pain	D
The ocean has still to be crossed	X
And only they do	Y
Who are brave and true	Y
