Dying Sailor To His Shipmates

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Oh, wrap me in my country’s flag, and lay me in the cold blue seaLet the roaring of the waves, my solemn requiem beAnd I shall sleep a pleasant sleep, while storms above their vigils keepMy Captain brave shall read for me, the service of the silent deadAnd yay shall lower me in the waves, when all the prayers are saidAnd I will find my long, long home, among the billows and the foamFarewell my friends for many a league, we’ve sailed together on the deepCome let us shake our hands, I’ll sail no more, but shipmates wear for weepI’m bound above, my course is runI near the port, my voyage is done.
