Robert Louis Stevenson - The Wind Blew Shrill And Smart
Work rating: Low

THE wind blew shrill and smart,
And the wind awoke my heart
Again to go a-sailing o`er the sea,
To hear the cordage moan
And the straining timbers groan,
And to see the flying pennon lie a-lee.

O sailor of the fleet,
It is time to stir the feet!
It`s time to man the dingy and to row!
It`s lay your hand in mine
And it`s empty down the wine,
And it`s drain a health to death before we go!

To death, my lads, we sail;
And it`s death that blows the gale
And death that holds the tiller as we ride.
For he`s the king of all
In the tempest and the squall,
And the ruler of the Ocean wild and wide!
