OUTWAHD BOUND ' The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, Below the hill, Below the lighthouse-top The anchor's weighed, the canvas bellies in the wind, and the ensign tlutters at the stern. We are outward bound, indeed, Old Illinois. We are outward bound at last. But who shall speak of our journey's end, or who shall say what craft it is we sail-an Argo or a Flying Dutchman? Shall we truly see the Golden Fleece? Say, shall we find it on the mystic oak? Or must we founder in mid-sea, and circle forever on the ghostly wave? There are hazards on the deep-the tempest and the darkling reef, the derelict and the buceaneer. Pray God, we may escape them all. And you, and you, my brothers, whose vessel lies unfinished in the stays, we think of you, for you must follow us, as we 11ow follow others. From you, Old Illinois, from you we learned what things are precious in this world, what things are not, so' that we shall be wise in barter wheresoe'er we la11d, knowing well the garnet from the ruby, copper from gold, and the true amber from the false. Though we find not the Golden Fleece, we lnay still return to port with many fair and many wondrous things. If we bring neither jade nor peaeocks, sandalwood nor pearls, perhaps we may send you, from the distant dawn, one bealn of living glory: that whe11 the ocean and the air went wild, we did our duty at the helm and in the shrouds. But seel the sun shines, and the fresh wind blows from every gal- liard cloud, then, while we view the harbour, hear the bell-Old Illinois, Farewell! 1 , 1 18
