Make its weak captain brave and strong,

And listen to his humble song.

“Sweet South Wind, whispering soft and low,

Come fill these sails and gently blow—

Breathe mildly while the storm winds sleep,

And waft us swiftly o’er the deep.

“O restless Waves, be kind, I pray

To this small craft while on its way;

Drive it along with gentle force,
