When O'Er The Silent Seas Alone, For Days And Nights We've Cheerless Gone, Oh They Who've Felt It Know How Sweet, Some Sunny Morn A Sail To Meet. Sparkling At Once Is Every Eye, "Ship Ahoy!" Our Joyful Cry; While Answering Back The Sounds We Hear, "Ship Ahoy!" What Cheer? What...Cheer? Then Sails Are Backed, We Nearer Come, Kind Words Are Said Of Friends And Home; And Soon, Too Soon, We Part With Pain, To Sail O'Er Silent Seas Again.
