Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.”

the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
their bright ironical names
like jests of kindness on a murderers mouth;”

To whirl in tall buildings.
Allow them many ships at sea,
And on land, soldiers
And policemen.”
