Canaris nous t'avons oubli	A

VIII October	B

O Canaris O Canaris the poet's song	C
Has blameful left untold thy deeds too long	C
But when the tragic actor's part is done	D
When clamor ceases and the fights are won	D
When heroes realize what Fate decreed	E
When chieftains mark no more which thousands bleed	E
When they have shone as clouded or as bright	F
As fitful meteor in the heaven at night	F
And when the sycophant no more proclaims	G
To gaping crowds the glory of their names	G
'Tis then the mem'ries of warriors die	H
And fall alas into obscurity	I
Until the poet in whose verse alone	J
Exists a world can make their actions known	J
And in eternal epic measures show	K
They are not yet forgotten here below	K
And yet by us neglected glory gloomed	I
Thy name seems sealed apart entombed	I
Although our shouts to pigmies rise no cries	L
To mark thy presence echo to the skies	L
Farewell to Grecian heroes silent is the lute	I
And sets your sun without one Memnon bruit	I
	-
There was a time men gave no peace	M
To cheers for Athens Bozzaris Leonidas and Greece	M
And Canaris' more worshipped name was found	I
On ev'ry lip in ev'ry heart around	I
But now is changed the scene On hist'ry's page	N
Are writ o'er thine deeds of another age	N
And thine are not remembered Greece farewell	A
The world no more thine heroes' deeds will tell	A
	-
Not that this matters to a man like thee	I
To whom is left the dark blue open sea	I
Thy gallant bark that o'er the water flies	L
And the bright planet guiding in clear skies	L
All these remain with accident and strife	O
Hope and the pleasures of a roving life	O
Boon Nature's fairest prospects land and main	P
The noisy starting glad return again	Q
The pride of freeman on a bounding deck	R
Which mocks at dangers and despises wreck	R
And e'en if lightning pinions cleave the sea	I
'Tis all replete with joyousness to thee	I
	-
Yes these remain blue sky and ocean blue	A
Thine eagles with one sweep beyond the view	A
The sun in golden beauty ever pure	S
The distance where rich warmth doth aye endure	S
Thy language so mellifluously bland	I
Mixed with sweet idioms from Italia's strand	I
As Baya's streams to Samos' waters glide	I
And with them mingle in one placid tide	I
	-
Yes these remain and Canaris thy arms	T
The sculptured sabre faithful in alarms	T
The broidered garb the yataghan the vest	I
Expressive of thy rank to thee still rest	I
And when thy vessel o'er the foaming sound	I
Is proud past storied coasts to blithely bound	I
At once the point of beauty may restore	U
Smiles to thy lip and smoothe thy brow once more	U
