    Where lies the land to which the ship would go ?
    Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know
    And where the land she
    travels from ? Away,
    Far, far behind, is all that
    they can say.
    An sunny noons upon the
    deck's smooth face,
    Linked arm in arm, how
    pleasant here to pace,
    Ar, o'er the stern reclining watch below
    The foaming wake far
    widening as we go.
    An stormy nights when
    wild norts-west (?)
