NAVY'
Song of the Battle-ships By C. F. HARPER
Mind of man, what have you wrought, From the ribs of mother earth, From the soil that gave you birth ? Mind of man, what have you wrought ?
You have builded mighty navies, you have made the sea your slave, And the booming of your cannon strikes the crest of every ware;
You have dug into the bowels of the earth's eternal hills, Tearing out the stubborn metals for the grinding of your mills;
For the forging of your hammers, for the blowing of your blasts, For the making of your armor, for the building of your masts;
For the guns whose rolling thunders frighten half a world in awe, Shouting out the fateful message, "Right is Might, and Might is Law."
Oh, the guns, great guns Shooting forty million tons; Shooting death, and shooting hell! Aim, you gunners, aim them well.
You have slaved a million freemen for the digging of your coal, For your engines throbbing wildly, like a panting human soul.
You have chained the ragged lightning, and you hold it in your hand, By the pressing of a button, you can devastate a land.
Oh, the fury of your anger! Oh, the pent-up scas of blood That shall wret the ocean's battles with a gory, human flood!
Oh, the booming of your caunon! Oh, the millions you shall slay, When the wrath of man is loosened in a frightful judgment day!
Mind of man, what have you wrought. From the ribs of mother earth, From the soil that gave you birth ? Mind of man, what have you wrought ?
