The Homecoming of the Sailor


"O! wind that falls across my sail,
from eastern shore thy breath doth hail;
yet westward-bound, through western sea
my ship is brought to shore by thee."

"O, kindly man, my breath doth fly
so freely from the eastern sky;
yet gladly I direct thy sail
so swiftly with my soothing gale."

"O! western sea, beneath my stern
oft does your wrath and ire burn;
and yet this day your waters send
me calmly with the soothing wind."

"O, gallant man, my wave is calm,
my waters echo as a psalm;
and gladly I will bear the west
so you may join in peaceful rest."

"O! ship of mine, the wind and sea
are kind, though not as kind as thee;
through storm and ice and smould'ring hell
thy mighty walls have served me well."

"O, noble man, i'll move thee still,
until decay doth move my will.
For by thy hand my might was wrought,
and by thy works, my glory bought."
