“Obscurest night involv’d the sky,
Th’ Atlantic billows roar’d,
When such a destin’d wretch as I,
Wash’d headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.”

From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”

You express me better than I can express myself.”
