    “Where lies the land to which the ship would go...”

    Share Share Post
    Where lies the land to which the ship would go far far
    Far, far ahead is all her seamen know
    And where the land she travels from
    Away
    Far, far behind is that all they can say
    On sunny noons upon the decks smooth face linked arm in arm, how pleasant here to face
    Or o'er the stern reclining water below
    The foaming wake for winding as we go,
    On stormy nights when wild now
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
