SHIPS THAT COME HOME.
When my ship comes home 1 When my ship comes home 1 But shall I wait on shore And dream of when my ship comes home — White sail and flashing oar? I’m going to steer it home myself, Not. wait'on land without it; For no one’s ship comes drifting in Who only dreams about it! When my ship comes home ! When my ship comes home ! Myself I’ll fill the hold— I’ll know that when my ship comes home With white sails flashing bold, •Twill bring the things I wish.. , Our flag To ocean winds we’ll fling it 1 For each one’s ship comes home at last If he helps Fate to bring it! • —Mary Carolyn Davies, in the -Educational Bulletin.
