Lyrics Sail On - The Moorings

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
