DIVINE ADVENTURE, by                    
First Line: Unmoored and free my ships go out
Last Line: A crown linked to a cross.
Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips


Unmoored and free my ships go out,
Spreading their smooth white sails;
Their names are Hope and Faith and Love;
They glide with singing gales.

These gallant ships that sail away,
Will they come back to me?
I stand and watch, from day to day,
By life's tempestuous sea.

But only one, storm-bent and torn,
To recompense my loss
Came bearing precious cargo --
A Crown linked to a Cross.
