And druid herons vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”

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

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