OF CADETS SEEDS OF DESTINY Deep in the soul of every man Are sown the seeds of destiny. The virgin cast of nature’s plan Has shaped the paths of history. Yet often stayed by life’s fast way Our dreamer’s dreams we cast amiss. Too often men their dreams mislay And spend dark days in gloom’s abyss. But these stout tars soon underway From home’s seaboard to far-off sands Remain in tune as they obey The beckon call of Neptune’s bands. Strong able hands will take the wheel As wild green seas tumult and foam, And proud young hearts will guide the keel To safely haul their cargoes home. presents
