Now more than ever seems it rich to die,

To cease upon the midnight with no pain.


“Come back, come back”; behold with straining mast

And swelling sail, behold her steaming fast;

With one new sun to see her voyage o’er,

With morning light to touch her native shore,

“Come back, come back.”

“Come back, come back”; across the flying foam,

We hear faint far-off voices call us home,
