Alone in my Gethsemane,

I quaff the cup without repining,

For God, I feel thou’rt still with me.

Meekly obey the mandate given

That purifies the soul for heaven.

Stranger.His cradle-hymn still chanted to the grave.

Sailor.The circle, sir—the end and the beginning—

The two ends of the chain are linked together.

Stranger.You said he had a boy.

Sailor.I said not so.
