ACROSS the frozen marshes	A
The winds of autumn blow	B
And the fen lands of the Wetter	C
Are white with early snow	B
But where the low gray headlands	A
Look o'er the Baltic brine	D
A bark is sailing in the track	E
Of England's battle line	D
No wares hath she to barter	C
For Bothnia's fish and grain	F
She saileth not for pleasure	C
She saileth not for gain	F
But still by isle or mainland	G
She drops her anchor down	H
Where'er the British cannon	I
Rained fire on tower and town	H
Outspake the ancient Amtman	H
At the gate of Helsingfors	A
'Why comes this ship a spying	J
In the track of England's wars '	K
'God bless her ' said the coast guard	L
'God bless the ship I say	A
The holy angels trim the sails	A
That speed her on her way	A
'Where'er she drops her anchor	C
The peasant's heart is glad	M
Where'er she spreads her parting sail	N
The peasant's heart is sad	M
'Each wasted town and hamlet	O
She visits to restore	P
To roof the shattered cabin	H
And feed the starving poor	Q
' The sunken boats of fishers	A
The foraged beeves and grain	H
The spoil of flake and storehouse	A
The good ship brings again	H
'And so to Finland's sorrow	B
The sweet amend is made	R
As if the healing hand of Christ	S
Upon her wounds were laid '	K
Then said the gray old Amtman	H
'The will of God be done	H
The battle lost by England's hate	T
By England's love is won	H
'We braved the iron tempest	U
That thundered on our shore	P
But when did kindness fail to find	V
The key to Finland's door	P
'No more from Aland's ramparts	A
Shall warning signal come	W
Nor startled Sweaborg hear again	H
The roll of midnight drum	W
'Beside our fierce Black Eagle	X
The Dove of Peace shall rest	Y
And in the mouths of cannon	H
The sea bird make her nest	Y
'For Finland looking seaward	Z
No coming foe shall scan	H
And the holy bells of Abo	B
Shall ring 'Good will to man '	K
'Then row thy boat O fisher	C
In peace on lake and bay	A
And thou young maiden dance again	H
Around the poles of May	A
'Sit down old men together	C
Old wives in quiet spin	H
Henceforth the Anglo Saxon	H
Is the brother of the Finn '	K
