Life saver! Wave stemmer! Deep diver! away! Night's shadows are closing The portals of day; On the breast of the billow We hear his low wail, We have put up the rudder, And furl'd up the sail. No signal from Heaven Will show where, he be; And where e'er he be driven, We men cannot see. Ho! Carlo! Newfoundland! Go follow his cry, As it gaspingly answers The sea moaners sigh; The boat shall be lower'd, The men shall belay, Life saver! Wave stemmer! Deep diver, away!

Away! fetch him out! Fetch him up! seize him! ho! |: Mount the wave dog! :| ha! Down down below! Hark! watch! bear a hand, Bring a light Not a sound Bring a light Hark! there's a moan. Yes the waves moaning over the drown'd God's spirit preserve him, Amen and amen. Hist! a flash and a motion Ha! Carlo, Ha! Carlo, again, Good dog, then, good dog, then Bear a hand, then, pull tight, A boat hook a boat hook, He's in and all right; Come, Carlo, quick, follow, Fine fellow hard strife,

Wave stemmer! Deep diver! we owe you a life.
