First Line: As thy ship sails o'er life's ocean
Last Line: In the harbor of thy home.
Subject(s): Birthdays; Wishes
As thy ship sails o'er life's ocean,
May she carry in her hold
Health and happiness for thee, friend,
Nicely ballasted with gold.
When her pilgrimage is over
And the eventide has come,
May she safely ride at anchor
In the harbor of thy home.
