SAIL on, sail on, thou fearless bark Wherever blows the welcome wind, It cannot lead to scenes more dark, More sad than those we leave behind. Each wave that passes seems to say, Tho' death beneath our smile may be, Less cold we are, less false than they, Whose smiling wrecked thy hopes and thee . Sail on, sail on, thro' endless space Thro' calm thro ' tempest - stop no -- more: The stormiest sea ' s a resting place To him who leaves such hearts on shore. Or if some desert land we meet, Where never yet false - hearted men Profaned a world, that else were sweet, Then rest thee, bark, but not till then. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
