Stran 101 - They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate: " This mad sea shows his teeth to-night. He curls his lip, he lies in wait. With lifted teeth, as if to bite! Brave admiral, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone? " The words leapt like a leaping sword: "Sail on! Sail on! Sail on, and on!
Stran 101 - My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak." The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I say, brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?" "Why, you shall say at break of day, 'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!
Stran 78 - In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still, In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot, I hesitate to draw a line Between the two, where God has not.
Stran 101 - Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!' ' They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow, Until at last the blanched mate said: " Why, now not even God would know Should I and all my men fall dead. These very winds forget their way, For God from these dread seas is gone. Now speak, brave Adm'r'l; speak and say " He said, "Sail on! sail on! and on!

A light! A light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled ! It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world Its grandest lesson :
Stran 77 - Could I but teach man to believe— Could I but make small men to grow, To break frail spider-webs that weave About their thews and bind them low; Could I but sing one song and slay Grim Doubt; I then could go my way In tranquil silence, glad, serene, And satisfied, from off the scene.
Stran 101 - Sail on! sail on! and on!' " "My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly, wan and weak." The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?
Stran 82 - Steep below me lies the valley, Deep below me lies the town, Where great sea-ships ride and rally, And the world walks up and down. O, the sea of lights far streaming When the thousand flags are furled — When the gleaming bay lies dreaming As it duplicates the world!
Stran 73 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY FORGET THE COMPASS HERE; WITH STURDY HAND THEY SEIZE THE WHEEL, LOOK UP, THEN BRAVELY LAY THE SHIP TO SHORE BY RUGGED PEAKS THAT STAND THE STERN AND PROUD PATRICIAN FATHERS OF THE LAND.
Stran 78 - SUNSET and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.
