TO A FRIEND, by                    
First Line: Through drenching deeps a ship is sailing
Last Line: Beckons and governs me!
Subject(s): Comfort; Friendship; Sailing & Sailors; Ships & Shipping; Seamen; Sails


THROUGH drenching deeps a ship is sailing,
A battered, broken journeyer;
And yet she keeps her course unfailing,—
A harbour waits for her.

Hope of that port her way doth order,
How far soever on the sea;
Ah, so thy heart, beyond the Border,
Beckons and governs me!
