Across Superior's azure swell,
Moves the Philip R. Clarke, true and well.
With heart of crew and hull of steel,
Hauls limestone with a fervent zeal.
From distant shores to Duluth's bay,
Guided by the North Star's ray.
In sunshine or in storm's harsh rhyme,
A stalwart symbol across time.
Anchors down as daybreaks light,
In Duluth bay, a welcome sight,
Her legend grows with every line,
In the warm sunshine,
Clarke does shine.
