WOLVES OF THE SEA
From dusk until dawn they are hurrying on, Unfettered and fearless they flee; From morn until eve they plunder and thieve—• The hungry, ivhite wolves of the seal With never a rest, they race to the ivest, To the Orient's rim do they run; By the berg and the floe of the northland they go, And away to the isles of the sun. With the froth on their lips they follow the ships, Each striving to lead in the cliasc; Since loosed by the hand of the king of their band e They have known but the rush of the race. They are shaggy and old, yet as mighty and bold As when God's freshest gale set them free; Not a sail is unfurled in a port of the world But is prey for the wolves of the seal
