THERE'S A SHIP ON THE SEA.
There's a ship on the sea. It is sailing to-night,Sailing to-night!
And father 's aboard, and the moon is all bright,
Shining and bright!
Dear moon! he'll be sailing for many a night—
Sailing from mother and me.
Oh! follow the ship with your silvery light,
As father sails over the sea!
