Book Description

Excerpt from She Loved a Sailor Love As A Sailor. "Far, far upon the sea, The good ship speeding free, Upon the deck we gather, young and old, And view the flapping sail, Spreading out before the gale, Full and round, without a wrinkle or a fold; Or watch the wave's that glide By the stately vessel's side, And the wild sea birds that follow through the air; Oh! gayly goes the ship when the wind blows fair!" "Follow, follow, round the earth, The green earth and the sea; So love is with the lover's heart, Wherever he may be." When the very old men of this generation were very young men, some of them may have stood upon the banks of the East River and watched the "Arethusa" come flying in before the wind, her deck crowded with homecoming Americans, and the English mail safe in her hold.
