And sought our abandoned ships,
And we said goodbye to the maidens
With the eyes and the red, red lips
Then into the west we wandered
Far out on the lonely way
The wild west wind in our faces,
The waves and the surging spray.
No more we shall see the harbors,
And the hills where our sad feet
trod,
But we shall sail on forever,
Till we stand face to face with God.

greater. We learn 10 get along to- gethervto work together in harmony. If we never hand together but alway < live tO ourselves and for ourselves. We will never haze any iceas but our own.
