I	A
	-
A song of a boat	B
There was once a boat on a billow	C
Lightly she rocked to her port remote	B
And the foam was white in her wake like snow	C
And her frail mast bowed when the breeze would blow	C
And bent like a wand of willow	C
	-
II	A
	-
I shaded mine eyes one day when a boat	B
Went curtseying over the billow	C
I marked her course till a dancing mote	B
She faded out on the moonlit foam	D
And I stayed behind in the dear loved home	D
And my thoughts all day were about the boat	B
And my dreams upon the pillow	C
	-
III	A
	-
I pray you hear my song of a boat	B
For it is but short	E
My boat you shall find none fairer afloat	B
In river or port	E
Long I looked out for the lad she bore	F
On the open desolate sea	G
And I think he sailed to the heavenly shore	F
For he came not back to me	G
Ah me	G
	-
IV	H
	-
A song of a nest	I
There was once a nest in a hollow	C
Down in the mosses and knot grass pressed	I
Soft and warm and full to the brim	J
Vetches leaned over it purple and dim	J
With buttercup buds to follow	C
	-
V	H
	-
I pray you hear my song of a nest	I
For it is not long	K
You shall never light in a summer quest	I
The bushes among	L
Shall never light on a prouder sitter	M
A fairer nestful nor ever know	C
A softer sound than their tender twitter	M
That wind like did come and go	C
	-
VI	H
	-
I had a nestful once of my own	N
Ah happy happy I	H
Right dearly I loved them but when they were grown	N
They spread out their wings to fly	H
O one after one they flew away	O
Far up to the heavenly blue	P
To the better country the upper day	O
And I wish I was going too	P
	-
VII	H
	-
I pray you what is the nest to me	H
My empty nest	I
And what is the shore where I stood to see	H
My boat sail down to the west	I
Can I call that home where I anchor yet	Q
Though my good man has sailed	R
Can I call that home where my nest was set	Q
Now all its hope hath failed	R
Nay but the port where my sailor went	S
And the land where my nestlings be	H
There is the home where my thoughts are sent	S
The only home for me	H
Ah me	H
