The Way of the World.
A boat that sails upon the sea;
Sails far and far and far away:
Who sail in her sing songs of glee,
Or watch and pray.
Sails far and far and far away:
Who sail in her sing songs of glee,
Or watch and pray.
A boat that drifts upon the sea
Silent and void to sun and air:
Who sailed in her have ended glee
And watch and prayer.
Silent and void to sun and air:
Who sailed in her have ended glee
And watch and prayer.
