No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, The ship was still as she could be;
Her sails from heaven recieved no motion;
Her keel was steady in the ocean.

Without either sign or sound of their shock,
The waves flowed over the Inchcape Rock;
So little they rose, so little they fell,
They did not move the Inchcape Bell.
