Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCDD EEFFGHIIJJ KKLLMMNNEE AAOOJ OOPOF ALL the ships that sail life's sea | A |
The Comradeship's the one for me | A |
In weather fair or weather foul | B |
A pleasant breeze or gales that howl | B |
An ocean smooth or troubled sea | A |
The Comradeship rides merrily | A |
Her masts are staunch her sails are white | C |
Her compass true and day or night | C |
She keeps her course and in the end | D |
Comes back to port with every friend | D |
- | |
The Comradeship is manned by men | E |
Who teach the sad to smile again | E |
True hearted souls who've quaffed the glass | F |
Of bitterness and seen it pass | F |
Who know the meaning of distress | G |
The heartache and the weariness | H |
That those who journey here below | I |
Sooner or later come to know | I |
And on the deck they stand and smile | J |
And bid us fare with them a while | J |
- | |
They bid us make a pleasant trip | K |
Upon the gallant Comradeship | K |
With them they bid us pace her deck | L |
A friendly arm about each neck | L |
And back to hearts with aching sore | M |
They bring the balm of peace once more | M |
And from the troubled sea of strife | N |
They bring us to the joy of life | N |
Restoring hope and faith again | E |
To weary and despairing men | E |
- | |
Of all the ships that sail life's sea | A |
The Comradeship's the one for me | A |
Her cabin rings with laughter true | O |
Above her skies seem ever blue | O |
And by the sunlight of a smile | J |
She steers for ' Happy Afterwhile ' | - |
The port of Consolation too | O |
She touches ere her journey's through | O |
And this the song her master sings | P |
'Our destination's Better Things ' | - |
