Explore "The Merchant Ship" by Sarah Noble Ives on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Down by the side of the Shining Way / There's a ship on the raging sea; / And she's bearing a rich and royal load / Over the waves to me.
(There are cherries juicy and red and sweet,) / And when she has reached this side / The cargo's mine, and the ship returns / To Jimmy across the tide.
If I blow right hard from my side of the sea / She steadily keeps her track; / And when she has travelled too far for me, / Jimmy will blow her back.
