(God bless the lifeboat Azd and all her men !)

Brought her thirty at a trip

Thro’ the hell of Goodwin waters as they
raged around the ship,

Saved each soul aboard the Loudon Fusilier /

If you live to be a hundred, you will ne’er —
You will ne’er in all your life,

Until you die, my dear,

Be nearer to your death by land or sea!

Was she there?
Who? — my wife?
Why, the baby in the blanket — that was she !
