Oh! Eternal wave
Roll on for evermore
Across the ocean wide
Until you crash upon the shore
In your successive stride.

How many men have been frightened?
How many widows made?
How many tricks of fortune
Have you in life's drama played?

You and your friend the wind
Go rolling hand in hand
like two lovers strolling,
On to the golden sand.
You are a thing of beauty
Of grace, of power and fear
When you are very angry
Don't yo7 dare come near.
How many rocks have you battered?
How many sailors drowned?
You and your friend the wind
Make such frightful sound.

You crash, you hiss and thunder
all through the long dark night
very little wonder
men nearly die of fright.
Take pity on poor sailors
Asleep upon your breast
You and your friend the wind
Please give them perfect rest.
