O Plough of the Heavens is the national anthem of Surrow. First written and composed by Donnie Altman in 1884, it was initially written as a prayer for fisherman to return home to the Surrowese archipelago safely. However, the song quickly became the de-facto national anthem of Surrow.
After Surrow gained independence from Rythene in 1950, the Surrowese government dithered on whether or not to adopt O Plough of the Heavens as the country's national anthem, as many legislators did not feel the anthem as it stood was "suitable enough" to become the Surrowese anthem. In 1952, William Boyle was asked by the Surrowese government to write a second verse, with the government asking Boyle that the verse emphasise the virtues of courageousness, freedom, and unity. Boyle would accept the task, and in January 1953, he presented his addition to Altman's first verse. The government would approve of it, and it officially became the national anthem on 24 June, 1953.
