Adrift (To Our President) Our farewells said, our shore-lines east; Our ship is off before the blast. The sway and totter midst the wave, The struggle hard our hark to save; To keep her from the shore and rocks. To stear her clear of deadly shocks. Two years upon life's training ship, They toiled and tugged to get a grip Upon the manner's charts and laws. Two years we’ve toiled without a fause. Two years we’ve thot and sketched and planned. As students we have worked with heart and hand. Two years our captain staunch and brave, Hath tempest guclled, hath sought to save Each untraided hand from toil and eare, .If I Elementary Class Poem Old Keptuncs laws he has laid hare, lie taught the science of the stars, Of currents, winds, and deadly bars. Two years we've toiled upon our ship; At last completed. Upon our trip They are prepared to start at break of day. No more on this our training ship we stay. For years we’ve sorted culled and cargo learned, And filled her full from how to deepest stern. At the ships helm we firmly take our stand And carefully guide our hark with treadling hand, Among the breakers and rocks of treacherous hay, Out on life’s larger ocean do we stray; Out midst life’s titful storms and swells, And wave our Captain, crow, fond farewell.
