The Toast for a Sailor.

Sweethearts and wives; fill up the glass
With crystal clink and clatter,
And drink the liquid jewels down.
May the former become the latter.
When raging winds and waves unite
70 raise mighty chorus,
We know that sweet and gentle lips
AT home are praying for us.
Sweethearts and wives-the precious
names
That makes our hearts grow warmer;
Through every storm on sea or shore
May the latter remain the former
Though pillows surge and tempests roar
And stG4ining hawsers sever,
Our thoughts upon the feeing deck
Are with them both forever!
