I stood before The Master's Chair A Brother craftsman Led me there A trowel now in The Master's hand With which to spread Cement and sand The words I had Been taught to use And warned that I Should not abuse That friendship was The greatest part And faith must come From my own heart An apron pure And spotless white A trust to keep With all my might And for these things I kneel in prayer God help me walk Both straight and square Author Unknown |
THE SEA CAPTAIN, by Anonymous
I sailed my ship for many a day across the stormy sea;
Many a ruffian I have carried and never refused but three.
They met me on a summer day, and saw my gallant ship,
And sought a passage to the other side upon a hurried trip.
They offered all the dough they had, mixed with a little sass;
That made me kinda hesitate, and ask them for a pass,
They deemed a pass unnecessary for men of their degree,
And insisted that I take my ship and sail it out to sea.
An old man who was standing by, and noted what they said,
Saw them kick me in the ribs and strike me on the head,
He heard them say they'd steal a boat, and put it out to sea,
And sail away to the other side to some strange countr'ee,
But no! The coward of the bunch the one you'd think was brave.
Suggested that they turn again and hide in a mountain cave.
And as the day went slowly by, I heard the truth in time;
I found that they were murderers, and guilty of a crime.
So as I sail my sturdy ship, until my life has ceased;
I know not whom my friends may be unless they've traveled East. |
