Explore "My Ship" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If all the ships I have at sea / Should come a-sailing home to me, / Ah, well! the harbour could not hold / So many sails as there would be / If all my ships came in from sea.
If half my ships came home from sea, / And brought their precious freight to me, / Ah, well! I should have wealth as great / As any king who sits in state -- / So rich the treasures that would be / In half my ships now out at sea.
