OVER THE WATER, by                    
First Line: Sailing out to sea. Hark!
Last Line: And sailing into dawn!
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness


Sailing out to sea. Hark!
Hear the slender wind! Still
Drifting in the dark
With sorrow for my captain. Will
Sorrow ever leave me?
I'll miss him if he goes:
Shall you have power to grieve me
When the wind blows?
If the wind blows strong?
Then I'll kiss my tender captain,
More faithful than you, gone
Well in sight of shore
And sailing into dawn!
