Songs of Sea and Sail

<h2>THEN AND NOW.</h2> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">The wind has changed to happy south,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">The tide is setting free,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">As one by one, past harbor mouth,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Our ships stand out to sea.</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">We watch them pass, my love and I;</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">We shout Halloo! from shore.</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">Good-bye! Good-bye! the sailors cry;</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Good-bye! the breakers roar.</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">The wind has turned to icy north,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Full bitterly it blows;</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">The sea is wroth, and white with froth,</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">And no ship comes or goes.</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">We watch for them, my love and I;</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">We linger on the shore.</span><br/> <span style="margin-left: 2em;">The breakers cry Ho! ho! Good-bye!&mdash;</span><br/> <p><span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</SPAN></span></p> <span style="margin-left: 3em;">Good-bye for evermore.</span><br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
