We had a source
Of consolation, faith, and
wisdom true,
We are now bereft of all the
three.
The ship that went so far
along its course
Has crashed, those who
survived are too few.
Deep is the sea of our misery.
“You cannot win the fight
With paganism and lies of our
days,
This foe of yours is strong
and never dies.
But struggle with all your
might”.
The Captain said. “Death better than disgrace.”
We truly will remember his
advice.
