VLKQQ POTW TWOU, TOO SAIL ON! my Uenry Y. Longfellow Sail forth into the sea, O ship! Through wind and wave, rimht onward steer! The moistened eye, the trembling lip, Are not the signs of doubt or fear. Sail forth into the sea of life, 0 gentle, lovinf, trusting wife, And safe from all adversity Upon the bosom of that sea Thy comings and thy goinfs bel For gentleness and love and trust Prevail o'er angry wave and gusty And in the wreck of noble lives Something immortal still survives! Thou, too, sail on, 0 Ship of State! Sail on, O Union, stronw and great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanginf breathless on thy fate! We know what Master laid thy keel, what Workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope! Fear not each sudden sound and shock, 'Tis of the wave and not the rookg 'Tis but the flapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale! In spite of rock and tempest's roar, In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with thee,--are all with thee!
