Excerpt from Shore Life in Song Fearless GO out into the world upon Thy mission sweet of sympathy, And love, and cheer. Seek every place. Shun no heart calling in the night For brother's thought, and deed, and voice; But seek thou most earth's quiet spots The wind-blown spaces of the shore; The dwellings clustered close of them That love, and live, and die, upon The sea.

Excerpt from Songs of the South Shore Songs of the South Shore Natural Things Oh, happy, dancing, gold-brown brook, They ought to bind you in a book, They who in search of something new, The lovely natural things eschew; You do not seem a bit forlorn, While faring forth from dawn to dawn, But just so simply, gladly gay, That it must be the natural way, And that great truth that you will be, Some day enveloped in the sea, Is just the truth, and being so, Does not disturb your even flow.

Excerpt from A Wanderer's Song of the Sea, Vol. 1 The charm of the sea is ever new. Its songs are ever in the making. It is a fresh surprise for each one who ventures upon its illimitable way. In the bits of lyric contained in this slender volume I have sought to catch fleeting glimpses of ocean life and of sailor men in many parts of the Pacific, from the Russian voyager in Bering Sea to the Tahitian fisherman braving the perils of the deep in his open canoe, and his still more daring kinsmen who, some six hundred years ago, voy aged over thousands of miles of unknown water and discovered New Zealand. Only on deep-water sailing vessels do the sailors still sing chanties. When a ship has been 4 laboring through a storm under shortened canvas and the wind abates, the skipper, anxious to make a quick voyage, gives the command to set more sail. Men are ordered aloft to free the lashings and the heavy spar must then be hoisted to its place. The full watch take hold of the halyard.
