I found a ship upon the sea,All ready waiting there for me,So in I jumped and off we sped,To gleaming waters far ahead.But soon a wind came moaning byAnd clouds filled all the sunny sky,The sea was speckled with the rain,And my ship rolled and rolled again.The waves crashed grandly on the deck.The sails dripped rain-drops down my neck,Then straight ahead, I spied a rock,And braced myself to meet the shock—Crash! we struck, and there we stayed,While rain and storm around us played;The ship at once began to fill,And down and down we sank—untilI yelled in fear and clutched the side,Half-drowning in the racing tide.And just as mast and rigging broke,I found myself in bed—and WOKE!
