3 Sea Music<br />

The night is calm and cloudless<br />

And still as still can be<br />

And the stars come forth to listen<br />

To the music of the sea.<br />

They gather and gather and gather<br />

Untill they crowd the sky,<br />

And listen in breathless silence<br />

To the solemn litany<br />

It begins in rocky caverns<br />

As a voice that chants alone<br />

To the pedals of the organ<br />

In monotonous undertone<br />

In snow-white robes up-rising<br />

The ghostly choirs respond<br />

And sadly and unceasing<br />

The mournful voice sings:<br />

Christe Eleison!<br />

A wet sheet and a flowing sea<br />

And a wind that follows fast<br />

And fills the white and rustling sail<br />

And bends the gallant mast, my boy<br />

While like an eagle free<br />

Away the good ship flies<br />

And leaves Old England on the lee.<br />

O for a soft and gentle wind!<br />

I hear a fair one cry,
