It’s a very ubermensch poem as I recall.

On edit, it’s a VERY long poem that conflates shipbuilding, marriage and, at the end, this:

Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'T is of the wave and not the rock;
'T is but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee, — are all with thee!

Trying to act like the foremost expert on the scrambled nonsense he cobbled together, after he completely deleted the past four years of what Donald Dumbass tRUMP has done. Maybe he will come back arguing that what tRUMP has done the last four years, was actually how the Democratic Party treated the tRUMP & Republican Cabal all along... Oh wait, he did go into that.
