ENDURANCE

(The ghost ship)

~*~

Weddell Sea, Weddell Sea,

Can you tell the older story

And remember Polar nights,

When it-s run the tragic glory?

Weddell Sea, Weddell Sea,

Why you between icebergs wall,

Crashed beauty Endurance?

In a winter night at Pole!

Dark, with minus fifty-cool,

Hell of Pole Magnetic Storm,

There Frank Hurley brave man,

The hero of Glebe born,

Took with camera al story:

Endurance, Endurance,

The tall ship and the gost ship,

You are glory, remembrance!

Weddell Sea, Weddell Sea,

There was taller iceberg blocks,

As a ghost of Antartica,

The wind blow terible knots!

Frozen Sea, white crystaline,

Of Ice Age genealogy,

Whishper wind, eternal snow,

Unafected by grief or by deat-s theory,

Eternal you hungry Sea,

Endurance-s ghost will carry,

Over your face terrible,

Through snow, ice, storm, dark nightmare!
