Heroes of Antarctica
January 18, 1912.
The captain Scott, accompanied by Evans, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates reaches the South Pole, but fails in the feat of being the first. Already at latitude 0, the Norwegian flag of the explorer Amundsen waves. Exhausted and failed, they begin the return
February 16, South Pole
Five Englishmen through the blue desert
Evans goes last in line
And hanging from his backpack
Death is ready to show
That once dead
It's not bad in that place
There was no tombstone
There was talk
God save the queen
Eternal glory to the Heroes of Antarctica
March 6 and Oates can't go on
His feet are like two glass blades
From crawling in some stretches
His hands are also frozen
But no one wants to leave him behind
And while they sleep
He faces eternity
There was no tombstone
There was talk
God save the queen
Eternal glory to the Heroes of Antarctica
March 30. Here ends the diary
Of Bowers, Wilson, and Scott
May the help that never reached us
Go to those who remained
Our children, our widows
Like an Englishman
Three die
There were no tombstones
There were no talks
There was no God or queen
Only eternal snow in Antarctica
Who remembers Captain Scott
Evans, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates?
Who remembers Captain Scott?
Evans, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates
Who remembers Captain Scott?
