VOYAGE INTO THE BLUE
When our boat puts out to sea
Let the wind take the sails full
And the tide be favorable as we
Are followed by the whale and gull.
May the prow respond to my wheel
And the deck constantly turn
To the loving moving caress and feel
Of the waves behind our stern.
You will navigate, I shall helm :
Our course will be unharried
On our trackless journey in this realm -
When you and I are married.
