“Where lies the land to which the ship would go...”
Where lies the land to which the ship would go far far
Far, far ahead is all her seamen know
And where the land she travels from
Away
Far, far behind is that all they can say
On sunny noons upon the decks smooth face linked arm in arm, how pleasant here to face
Or o'er the stern reclining water below
The foaming wake for winding as we go,
On stormy nights when wild now- Collector
