Alexander Rosenbaum. I - Ship convoy (№ 363148)

The thunder of hundreds of guns I salute base
Was mistaken, probably because I walked like a sheep.
In the sea I for the enemy not pursued never
And in a brutal battle was not to end.
Who will save my honor? Who their blood will wash?
Commander, I beg, look me in the eye.
And he said in answer: "Thou ship of the convoy.
We come, then, that you proved everything!"
