Song.
Oh what comes over the sea, / Shoals and quicksands past; / And what comes home to me, / Sailing slow, sailing fast?
A wind comes over the sea / With a moan in its blast; / But nothing comes home to me, / Sailing slow, sailing fast.
Let me be, let me be, / For my lot is cast: / Land or sea all's one to me, / And sail it slow or fast.
