  1. THE SHIP THAT NEVER RETURNED • On a summer's day, when the wave was rippled • By the softest gentlest breeze, • Did a ship set sail with a cargo laden • For a port beyond the seas. • There were sweet farewells, and there were loving signals • While a form was yet discerned; • Though they knew it not, 'twas a solemn parting • For the ship, she never returned. • Well, did she never return? No, she never returned, • Her fate, it is yet unlearned, • Though for years and years there were fond ones watching, • Yet the ship never returned.

  2. THE SHIP THAT NEVER RETURNED (Page 2) • Said a feeble lad to his anxious mother, • “I must cross the wide, wide sea, • For they say, perchance in a foreign climate, • There is health and strength for me." • 'Twas a gleam of hope in a maze of danger • And her heart for her youngest yearned, • Yet she sent him forth with a smile and blessing • On the ship that never returned. • Did she never return? No, she never returned, • Her fate, it is yet unlearned, • Though for years and years there were fond ones watching, • Yet the ship never returned.

  3. THE SHIP THAT NEVER RETURNED (Page 3) • “Only one more trip", said a gallant seaman, • As he kissed his weeping wife, • Only one more purse of that golden treasure • And 'twill last us all through life. • Then I'll spend my days in a cozy cabin • And enjoy the rest I've earned; • But alas! poor man! For he sail'd commander • Of the ship that never returned. • Did she never return? No, she never returned, • Her fate, it is yet unlearned, • Though for years and years there were fond ones watching, • Yet the ship never returned.

  4. THE SHIP THAT NEVER RETURNED (Page 4) • Did she never return? No, she never returned, • Her fate, it is yet unlearned, • Though for years and years there were fond ones watching, • Yet the ship never returned.
