Sail On |
Sail on, sail on, thou fearless bark -- |
Wherever blows the welcome wind |
It cannot lead to scenes more dark |
More sad, than those we leave behind |
Each wave that passes seems to say |
Though death beneath our smile may be |
Less cold we are, less false than they |
Whose smiling wrecked thy hopes and thee |
Sail on, sail on -- through endless space -- |
Through calm -- through tempest -- stop no more; |
The stormiest sea’s a resting-place |
To him who leaves such hearts on shore |
Or -- if some desert land we meet |
Where never yet false-hearted men |
Profaned a world that else were sweet -- |
Then rest thee, bark, but not till then |
