giving him supplies."l
Frlerd ahoy How many days
Hast thou been out How many nights
Did friends stand watching on the ways
Do lovers trim the lights
Friend ahcy Art thou in need
OF aught we carry Make but sign
Which we across the waves may read,
And all our store is thine.
Friend ahoy Draw near! draw near
Let US at least one short honr, sail
Close side by side. Let words OF cheer
Over our griefs prevail.
Friend ahoy The waves toss white;
Rises the wind which parts us. far
We shall ride out the stormy night
By help OF the selt-same star.
Friend ahoy Farewell Farewell
Grief unto grief, joy unto Joy,
Greeting and help the echoes tell
Faint but Eternal Friend ahoy
