Come sailing by, come sailing by,

On Christmas Day in the morning.”

London has swept about you this score years
And bright ships left you this or that in fee:
Ideas, old gossip, oddments of all things,
Strange spars of knowledge and dimmed wares of price.”

“The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
