FAREWELL H.M.S. RINGAROOMA.
Farewell to the men of the ' Red ' and the ' Blue,' Farewell to you, one and all ; Our best wishes go with you, the good and the true, Your visit we'll often recall. Farewell to our Brothers.of Britain's fair Isle, The Isle of the brave and the free, The home of our heroes, may Heav'ci on her smile, The loveliest Isles of the Sea. Wherever you go on the Ocean's broad breast We hope that your lives may be bright, And when the wind blows 'and lulls you to re3t' We pray with you all will be right. When life's voyage is o'er, and you're pillowed to rest, And the ini.t aud the clouds rolled away ; May each find a home iv the Realms of the Blest, With our SaWour for ever to stay. Richard Howell. Napier, July 13th, 1895.
