And soon throughout the ship-yard's bounds Were heard the intermingled sounds Of axes and of mallets, plied With vigorous arms on every side ; Plied so deftly and so well.
That, ere the shadows of evening fell, The keel of oak for a noble ship, 7 Scarfed and bolted, straight and strong, Was lying ready, and stretched along The blocks, well placed upon the slip.
Happy, thrice happy, every one Who sees his labor well begun, And not perplexed and multiplied, By idly waiting for time and tide !
And
... when the hot, long day was o'er, The young man at the Master's door Sat with the maiden calm and still.
And within the porch, a little more Removed beyond the evening chill, The father sat, and told them tales Of wrecks in the great September gales.
Of pirates upon the Spanish Main, And ships that never came back again.
The chance and change of a sailor s life.
Want and plenty, rest and strife.
His roving fancy, like the wind.
That nothing can stay and nothing can bind, And the magic charm of foreign lands.
