TO A FRIEND by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE

First Line: THROUGH DRENCHING DEEPS A SHIP IS SAILING
Last Line: BECKONS AND GOVERNS ME!
Subject(s): COMFORT; FRIENDSHIP; SAILING & SAILORS; SHIPS & SHIPPING; SEAMEN; SAILS;
@2T@1HROUGH drenching deeps a ship is sailing,
A battered, broken journeyer;
And yet she keeps her course unfailing,—
A harbour waits for her.

Hope of that port her way doth order,
How far soever on the sea;
Ah, so thy heart, beyond the Border,
Beckons and governs me!
