"A Song in Storm" is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936).
Elgar set the poem in 1917, with the title "Fate's Discourtesy," as the second of a set of four war-related verses by Kipling on nautical subjects for which he chose the title "The Fringes of the Fleet".
[1] The phrase "Fate's discourtesy" leads in the refrain to all three verses of the poem.
Like the other songs in the cycle, is intended for four baritone voices: a solo and chorus.
T. S. Eliot included the poem in his 1941 collection A Choice of Kipling's Verse.
