Our sleép fell sóft on the hárdest béd;
Whéther we cóuch'd on our róugh capóte,
Or the róugher plánk of our glíding bóat;
Or strétch'd on the beách or our sáddles spréad
As a píllow beneáth the résting héad,
Frésh we wóke upón the mórrow.
Áll our thóughts and wórds had scópe,
Wé had héalth and wé had hópe,
Tóil and trável, bút no sórrow.
