ON ANCHORS AND ANCHORING

"Let's forge a goodly anchor—a bower thick and broad;

For a heart of oak is hanging on every blow I bode;

And I see a good ship riding all in a perilous road—

The low reef roaring on her lee; the roll of ocean poured

From stem to stern, sea after sea; the mainmast by the board;"

The bulwarks down; the rudder gone; the boats stove at the chains;

But courage still, brave mariners—the bower yet remains!

And not an inch to flinch he deigns—save when ye pitch sky high;

Then moves his head, as though he said, "Fear nothing—here am I."

—Ferguson
