….. I

                                           .    free
                                           .       to go
                                           .          where
                                           .            breezes
                                           .              take me,
                                           .             free to be
                                           .           at liberty,.          my spirit 
                                           .      loosed
                                           .            on the waters
                                           .                  to be borne of
                                           .                      the power neath
                                           .                            my strong timber,
                                           .                             take me where’er
                                           .                             you will, until the
                                           .                            air of the mistral
                                           .                        is spent and the
                                           .                      clouds bid me
                                           .                  cease …
                                           .
        your unfailing love has borne me aloft, but without you by my side, 
… I am at once alone and at the mercy of the depths.
