Send forth all your Argosies,
Let none rest at Home —
Better far to breast the Waves
And over Seas to roam —

Carrying rich Cargoes far,
Near welcome Shores to dock —
Bearing Comfort, Hope and Cheer —
Burdened Hearts unlock.

Even though they meet the Storm,
And sink to rise no more —
Still a Wanderer may find
Your Treasures cast Ashore.
