A Dying Sailor To His Shipmates |
Oh, wrap me in my country’s flag |
And lay me in the cold, blue sea |
Let the roaring of the waves |
My solemn requiem be |
And I shall sleep a pleasant sleep |
While storms above their vigils keep |
My Captain brave shall read for me |
The service of the silent air |
And yay, shall lower me in the waves |
When all the prayers are said |
And I will find my long, long home |
Among the billows and the foam |
Farewell my friends, for many I leave |
We’ve sailed together on the deep |
Come, let us shake our hands |
I’ll sail no more but ship mains work for me |
I’m bound above, my course is run |
I near the port, my voyage is done |
