'Farewell and adieu'was the burden prevailing Long since in the chant of a home-faring crew;
And the heart in us echoes,with laughing or wailing,Farewell and adieu.
Each year that we live shall we sing it anew,With a water untravelled before us for sailing And a water behind us that wrecks may bestrew.
The stars of the past and the beacons are paling,The heavens and the waters are hoarier of hue:
But the heart in us chants not an all unavailing Farewell and adieu.
