“Have you news of my boy Jack?”
Not this tide.
“When d’you think that he’ll come back?”
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.

“Has any one else had word of him?”
Not this tide.
For what is sunk will hardly swim,
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.

“Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?”
None this tide,
Nor any tide,
Except he did not shame his kind —
Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide.

Then hold your head up all the more,
This tide,
And every tide;
Because he was the son you bore,
And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!

There was a TV film about Kipling and his boy Jack, played (I think) by David Haig and Daniel Radcliffe, not very long ago.

My Nan's two brothers were lost at sea during WW2. She never got over that. I feel sorry to have been a kid that didn't understand, and just wanted to hear exciting war stories. frown
