Little thou hast, old friend, that’s new,

Storms and wrecks are old things to thee;

Sick am I of these changes, too;

Little to care for, little to rue,—

I on the shore, and thou on the sea,

All of thy wanderings, far and near,

Bring thee at last to shore and me;

All of my journeyings end them here,

This our tether must be our cheer,—

I on the shore and thou on the sea.
