SAILING AWAY.

Sailing away with the wind abeam,
And the wide, wide sea before:
Sailing away in q lovers dream
To the port of the golden shore,
Idle hands on the rudder bands,
Hope In the sunrise fair,
And hearts as light as the sea bird white
Afost in the morning air.
Love, in the dawn Of that farof time,
Did you guess of the weary wayf
Dearest, when life seemed q summer rhyme
Could we tell where we went astrayf
Silent tears through the coming years,
Darkness for you and me,
And doubt and dread Of the wilds ahead
Fell chill as We sailed a-sea.
Sailing ashore with a waning wind
On the glass of a dreaming tide,
Leaving the dark Of the deep behind
For the light Of the other side,
Loosen hands from the rudder bandsi
All, to the margin foam
Comes breath of land Ger the golden sand.
Oh, sweet is our welcome home!
