The Seaman's Song

 ("Adieu, patrie.") 
 
 {Bk. V. ix., Aug. 1, 1852.} 


 Farewell the strand, 
 The sails expand 
 Above! 
 Farewell the land 
 We love! 
 Farewell, old home where apples swing! 
 Farewell, gay song-birds on the wing! 
 
 Farewell, riff-raff 
 Of Customs' clerks who laugh 
 And shout: 
 "Farewell!" We'll quaff 
 One bout 
 To thee, young lass, with kisses sweet! 
 Farewell, my dear—the ship flies fleet! 
 
 The fog shuts out the last fond peep, 
 As 'neath the prow the cast drops weep. 
 Farewell, old home, young lass, the bird! 
 The whistling wind alone is heard: 
 Farewell! Farewell!
