Like the souls of old dead sailor-men as used to be 'er crew.

"Never a port of all 'er ports for 'er to fetch again,

Nothin' only the sea an' the sky, the sun, the wind an' the rain;

It's cruel 'ard on a decent ship, an' so I tell you true,

An' I wish I knew she 'ad gone to 'er rest as a good ship ought to do."

C.F.S.
