AMBERGRIS
75
FROM THE ARGONAUTS
Chorus of Shipbuilders
The sound of the hammer and steel !
The song of the level and line !
The whirr of the whistling wheel !
The ring of the axe on the pine !
The joy of the ended labour,
As the good ship plunges free
By sound of pipe and tabor
To front the sparkling sea !
The mystery-woven spell !
The voyage of golden gain !
The free full sails that swell
On the swell of the splendid main !
The song of the axe and the wedge !
The clang of the hammer and chain !
Keen whistle of chisel and edge !
Smooth swish of the sliding plane !
Hail to the honour of toil !
Hail ! to the ship flown free !
Hail ! to the golden spoil,
And the glamour of all the sea !
