INSPIRA TIONS THE SOUL OF A SHIP Now. some sai; that men make a ship and her fame As she goes on her way down the sea: That the crew which first nian her will give her a name Good. bad. or whatever mai; be. The recruits coming after them soon fall in line. And carri; tradition along — If the spirit was good, it will alwax s be fine — bad, it will alwai s be wrong. The soul of a ship is a marvelous thing. Not made of its wood or its steel. But fashioned of men ' ries and songs that men sing. And fed by the passions men feel. It ' s built of ambition, of jealousy, strife. Of friendship, of love, and of fear: It includes almost all of the makings of Life: It ' s nurtured on grumble — and cheer. The soul of a ship is a molder of men — Her spirit lives on through the years. As she started her life, so she is to the end: She shares each recruit ' s hopes and fears. And each man who joins feels the breath of her life — As he stands up and takes heart again — So he takes to h ' lmself the old sea as his wife. And the ship ' s made a man among men. — ANONYMOUS Ar ] man who mai! be asked in this centuri; what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think he can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction . . . 1 served in the Unit- ed States Nauij. — John F. Kennedy; ■ ) I must go down to the seas again. to the lonely; sea and the sk} . And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her bij. And the wheel ' s kick and the wind ' s song and the white sails shaking. And a grey mist on the sea ' s face and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied: And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying. And the flying spray and the blown spume and the sea-gulls crying. — John Mase field J 15
