NOW FINALÈ TO THE SHORE.
Now land and life finalè and farewell, |
Now Voyager depart, (much, much for thee is yet in store,) |
Often enough hast thou adventur'd o'er the seas, |
Cautiously cruising, studying the charts, |
Duly again to port and hawser's tie returning; |
But now obey thy cherish'd secret wish, |
Embrace thy friends, leave all in order, |
To port and hawser's tie no more returning, |
Depart upon thy endless cruise old Sailor. |
