From me San Frdncisco Coast Sedmen's Journal.
Oh! for brisk and fresh ming wind
That follows the tall ship fast.
That curls the crests of the sun kiss'd seas
And strains the pitch. pine mast
And bends the towering mast,
Whilst the doR-watch yarrs go round.
And the chanteyman uplifts his voice
In the song of the homeward bound!
The chorus ascends in time and tune.
And ia caught on the rising wind.
Till the startled gulls with flutterng wing
Fall off in the track behind
Fall off in the fakes behind,
Where their shrieks and screams are drowned
BY the proud. loud song. the loud. proud song.
The song of the homeward bound!
Give me the midst of stormy zone,
Where the staggering sun swings low
And the clouds roll back on the weatherboard
Predicting heavy blow
Sure sign OF heavy blow.
when from windward comes the sound
OF the thlnder's roar to rouse the song,
The song OF the homeward bound.
Give me the man with the rich. round voice.
when the wind Is believing hard,
As he looms his reach DER the leading block
A-hoistin2 a topsail yard
Mastheading topssil yard
As the sail sets tsut and round
And the word Belayl' falls like Amen"
To the song of the homeward bound.
Oh the strange seafolk, the wild seafolk,
That live on the trackless deep
That carry our commerce the world around
Wherever the wild waves sweep!-
Where the wild waves ever sweep.
To these let the toast resound
With health to the sailor, health to the ship
And health to the homeward bound
