In Memoriam
J. Pennington, Drowned December 13th, 1895.
Rage on, wild winds, rage on,
Ye have widow'd in your strife
Another loving wife,
Robbed fond parents of a son:
Rage on, rage on.
Ye have widow'd in your strife
Another loving wife,
Robbed fond parents of a son:
Rage on, rage on.
Roll on, rough seas, roll on,
He does not hear your roar,
For he is safe ashore,
His journeyings all done:
Roll on, roll on.
He does not hear your roar,
For he is safe ashore,
His journeyings all done:
Roll on, roll on.
Weep on, sad heart, weep on,
Tears are given to shed
For the living and the dead,
So let the fountains run:
Weep on, weep on.
Tears are given to shed
For the living and the dead,
So let the fountains run:
Weep on, weep on.
Sleep on, brave heart, sleep on,
Thou hast no watch to keep,
Nothing to do but sleep
Until the night be gone:
Sleep on, sleep on.
Thou hast no watch to keep,
Nothing to do but sleep
Until the night be gone:
Sleep on, sleep on.
The friend whom we have lost,
Heard o'er the roaring gale
The Heavenly Pilot's "Hail!"
And died at duty's post.
He is not lost.
Heard o'er the roaring gale
The Heavenly Pilot's "Hail!"
And died at duty's post.
He is not lost.
