THE BUILDING OF THE SHIP by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This long poem ends with these memorable words:

"Thou too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hope of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what a heat
Was shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock
‘Tis of the wave and not the rock;
‘Tis but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest’s roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o’er our fears,
Are all with thee - are all with thee!"

In spite of Obama the pirate who has led a mutiny on our Ship of State,
We concerned, Constitutional, conservative patriots now can only wait
For him to shipwreck, and not sail on - and end a country, once great.
