The RowersBy Rudyard Kipling

"Last night you swore our voyage was done,But seaward still we go.And you tell us now of a secret vowYou have made with an open foe! . . .Our dead they mocked are scarcely cold,Our wounds are bleeding yet--And you tell us now that our strength is soldTo help them press for a debt!”
