On the long slow heave of a lazy sea	A
To the flap of an idle sail	B
The Nancy's Pride went out on the tide	C
And the skipper stood by the rail	B
	-
All down all down by the sleepy town	D
With the hollyhocks a row	E
In the little poppy gardens	F
The sea had her in tow	E
	-
They let her slip by the breathing rip	G
Where the bell is never still	H
And over the sounding harbor bar	I
And under the harbor hill	H
	-
She melted into the dreaming noon	J
Out of the drowsy land	K
In sight of a flag of goldy hair	L
To the kiss of a girlish hand	K
	-
For the lass who hailed the lad who sailed	M
Was who but his April bride	C
And of all the fleet of Grand Latite	C
Her pride was the Nancy's Pride	C
	-
So the little vessel faded down	D
With her creaking boom a swing	N
Till a wind from the deep came up with a creep	O
And caught her wing and wing	N
	-
She made for the lost horizon line	P
Where the clouds a castled lay	Q
While the boil and seethe of the open sea	A
Hung on her frothing way	Q
	-
She lifted her hull like a breasting gull	R
Where the rolling valleys be	A
And dipped where the shining porpoises	S
Put ploughshares through the sea	A
	-
A fading sail on the far sea line	P
About the turn of the tide	C
As she made for the Banks on her maiden cruise	T
Was the last of the Nancy's Pride	C
	-
To day a boy with goldy hair	L
In a garden of Grand Latite	C
From his mother's knee looks out to sea	A
For the coming of the fleet	C
	-
They all may home on a sleepy tide	C
To the flap of the idle sail	B
But it's never again the Nancy's Pride	C
That answers a human hail	B
	-
They all may home on a sleepy tide	C
To the sag of an idle sheet	C
But it's never again the Nancy's Pride	C
That draws men down the street	C
	-
On the Banks to night a fearsome sight	C
The fishermen behold	C
Keeping the ghost watch in the moon	J
When the small hours are cold	C
	-
When the light wind veers and the white fog clears	U
They see by the after rail	B
An unknown schooner creeping up	V
With mildewed spar and sail	B
	-
Her crew lean forth by the rotting shrouds	W
With the Judgment in their face	X
And to their mates' God save you	Y
Have never a word of grace	X
	-
Then into the gray they sheer away	Q
On the awful polar tide	C
And the sailors know they have seen the wraith	Z
Of the missing Nancy's Pride	C
