Atlantic: the biography of an ocean

Preface: The leaving of Liverpool

Prologue: The beginnings of its goings on

From the purple isles of Mogador

All the shoals and deeps within

Oh! the beauty and the might of it

Here the sea of pity lies

They that occupy their business on great waters

Change and decay all around the sea

The storm surge carries all before

Epilogue: Falls the shadow, fades the sea.
