Sailing On Home

While the water’s whitened waves Flew forth fast in foamy sprays All amidst an airy act Blowing, blasting, beating back Seeing swarthy, seaward sailing ships Onward o’er the ocean dips Upward, downward, driving days Seeking harbors, havens haste their ways The ships sail sure in stormy seas Calmly coursing comes a breeze Now softly sailing, slides the ship Muffled, mellow, made my trip
