First Line: My dream ship sails on strange, uncharted sea
Last Line: In life, and going on, I grow dismayed.
Subject(s): Seashore; Beach; Coast; Shore
My Dream Ship sails on strange, uncharted seas,
And dim and distant, drifting in a breeze,
Its crimson sails and golden treasure hold
Await that day when all will turn to gold.
My Ship of Dreams seemed very safe and sure,
A refuge from life's storms, a place secure.
Dear Pilot, whither now the bark must go,
In memory of valor, keep it so!
The pain of all the world lies on my heart
As standing here, I'm thinking on the part
Your honor and your gentleness once played
In life, and going on, I grow dismayed.
