Amagiri destroyed the boat,
But failed to touchThe pride of the boatman.
No, not as a destroyer does the world know Amagiri,But through its fateful link with a unique soul.
The Solomon isles suffered with the boatman;Also with him triumphed.
The swimmer in Kennedy saved his master,
the individual:An individual whose bosom ached to save the world
From the fetters of ignorance,From the hunger of poverty,
From the dance of utter ruin;An individual who visioned the Hour of God,
Tomorrow's Dawn in the very breast ofToday's roaring Gloom.
