Joy, shipmate, joy!
(Pleas’d to my soul at death I cry,)
Our life is closed, our life begins
The long, long anchorage we leave
The ship is clear at last, she leaps!
She swiftly courses from the shore
Joy, shipmate, joy
(Pleas’d to my soul at death I cry,)
Our life is closed, our life begins
The long, long anchorage we leave
The ship is clear at last, she leaps!
She swiftly courses from the shore
Joy, shipmate, joy
