Explore "The Surrender of the German Fleet (the Red Flower and Golden Stars)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ship after ship, and every one with a high-resounding name, / From the robber-nest of Heligoland the German war-fleet came; / Not victory or death they sought, but a rendezvous of shame.
_Sing out, sing out, / A joyful shout, / Ye lovers of the sea!
