Where'er blows the welcome wind | B |
It cannot lead to scenes more dark | A |

quot Though death beneath our smile may be | D |
Less cold we are less false than they | C |
Whose smiling wreck'd thy hopes and thee quot | B |

Sail on sail on through endless space | E |
Through calm through tempest stop no more | F |

Where never yet false hearted men | G |
Profaned a world that else were sweet | B |
Then rest thee bark but not till then | G |
