O Long the Way
O long the way and short the day,
No light in tower or town,
The waters roar and far the shore —
My ship, my ship goes down!
'Tis all in vain to strive again,
My cry the billows drown,
The fight is done, the wind has won —
My ship, my ship goes down!
Bright sun, adieu! Thou'lt shine anew
When skies no longer frown,
But I — the deafening billows crash —
My ship, my ship goes down!
No light in tower or town,
The waters roar and far the shore —
My ship, my ship goes down!
'Tis all in vain to strive again,
My cry the billows drown,
The fight is done, the wind has won —
My ship, my ship goes down!
Bright sun, adieu! Thou'lt shine anew
When skies no longer frown,
But I — the deafening billows crash —
My ship, my ship goes down!
