Sister, my sister,
     you left us today.

With eagle to guide you,
     anchor to ground you,
          and Gaia at your feet.

Sister, my sister,
     you sailed off today,
     as we bade you
          fair winds
               and following seas.

Sister, my sister,
     we grieved you today.

Though we never met in this life,
We will forever be family.

Always faithful to you,
     our Corps,
          and our country.
