Classic Poem

In the greyness of the grey North Sea,
In the silence full of mystery,
In the waters, ebbing, flowing,
In the wintry winds a-blowing
Lie the watch dogs of the grey North Sea.

In the greyness of the grey North Sea,
They are lying there for you and me.
In the hours when we are sleeping,
They an endless watch are keeping,
On the waters of the grey North Sea.

From the greyness of the grey North Sea,
From the silence, full of mystery,
God grant a safe returning.
Our hearts are praying, yearning,
For the sailors of the grey North Sea.
