-
Fresh from his fastnessesB
Wholesome and spaciousB
The north wind the mad huntsmanC
Halloos on his white houndsB
Over the grey roaringD
Reaches and ridgesB
The forest of oceanC
The chace of the worldE
Hark to the pealF
Of the pack in full cryG
As he thongs them before himH
Swarming voluminousB
Weltering wide wallowingD
Till in a ruiningD
Chaos of energyA
Hurled on their quarryA
They crash into foamI
-
Old IndefatigableJ
Time's right hand man the seaA
Laughs as in joyK
From his millions of wrinklesB
Laughs that his destinyA
Great with the greatnessB
Of triumphing orderL
Shows as a dwarfM
By the strength of his heartN
And the might of his handsB
-
Master of mastersB
O maker of heroesB
Thunder the braveO
Irresistible messageP
'Life is worth livingD
Through every grain of itQ
From the foundationsB
To the last edgeR
Of the cornerstone death '-
