THE RETURN OF THE SHIP.
With banners her masts adjoining.
And fair the oceans foam.
The ship sailed out in the morning.
Out OF her harbor home.
All new from the hand Of her maker,
Who watched her sailing away
To battle with storm and breaker.
To wrestle with wind and spray
IT'S many a month since the sailing.
But the builder Is hopeful STILL
As the glow in the west Is palng
He stands on the seward HILL
And the ship comes homeward slowly,
All battered. and rent. and frayed
But he welcomes her though she is lcwfy.
For he loveth the ship he made.
o Builder OF human vessels
That sail in the morning Of youth
Out on the unknown ocean
With yearning for light and truth!
Art Thou for Thy vessels watching
Awake on Thy seaward hill?
Wilt know when worn and weary
We wait for Thy further will?
