Summary

Portrait of Charles Dibdin Charles Dibdin,  Seraphim (November 2020)

“ Where dwells a friend or partner dear,
⁠Of faith and love a matchless proof!
The lead once more the seaman flung,
And in the watchful pilot sung.
⁠Quarterless--Five!"
Now to her birth the ship draws nigh,
⁠With slacken'd sail she feels the tide;
Stand clear the cable! is the cry--
⁠The anchor's gone, we safely ride,
The watch is set, and thro' the night,
We hear the seamen with delight,
⁠Proclaim--All's well"
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
