Good people give ear to me story,

intending to build ye's a ship.

and none are more gallantly led.

What have we got, but the buzzer in the morning?

And what have we got, but the cranes above us soaring?

The commotion and the clamour in the welding of the steel?

A D E
What have we got, but the mist upon the river?

Where we work in horizontal rain, and shiver in the cold.

And the snapping of a cable when the rigging hits the deck?
