Song of the Seamen and Their Ship Called Mary Rose

Mary Rose, the mighty sailing sea vessel glided majestically across the waves She had robustly and bravely sailed the briny waves for many a night and day With the ocean's heaving gusting squalls blowing off proud stern and mast Sailing victorious and proud - her billowing white sails were cast The calm, liquid waters of the sea flowed quietly purple for now- Unaware of the coming storm that would beat furious against her bow Her alabaster sails whipped violent and furious in the oncoming storm Impending doom was yelling its cries while the seamen went unwarned Down below, inside their cabins the seamen peacefully slept Wrapped in the secure watch that their gallant captain kept The oceans black, boiling waves beat savage against starboard and port As Captain Noe standing fearless - at first quake, did not the storm report The old wooden beams of the Mary Rose began to restlessly moan and creak While the blackened roaring, rolling waves beat furious against her feet Her alabaster sails rose proud- beating mighty against wailing squalls and gusts While deep inside the bow in bunks, the sleeping seamen thrust Suddenly...they heard the captain's distraught voice cry out When the seamen heard his voice -they heard fear without doubt “Awake, all of ye’ ”, Captain Noe forcefully roared “Alive! Awake… all ye’ seaman come quickly up on board”! The savage spirit of the sea reigned fierce with rage and fear While the brave captain fought - loyal seaman brought up the rear They courageously fought together - not silenced by the eye of death As the sea raged violently against them with its brutal, menacing breath To save their mighty Mary Rose, they’d dip their very souls in blood Leaving themselves merciless against this drunken, mighty flood With plank and bow standing fierce between them and their fate The raging ocean’s fierce, blackened waves - the sea they could not hate The morning brought the warming sun which rose broad above the waves The winds had tamed their violent voice against captain and seaman brave With unshakable courage and seaman’s wit not once were spirits broke Each cheered his mate and captain strong as they fought with steady stroke Their peril fought in days of danger and night filled with pain Their manly courage did not wane - their fight was not in vain For all the courageous seamen and their brave Captain Noe Joined together in hand and spirit to save...their proud Mary Rose
