The Silver Ship
Skipwith Cannéll
A silver ship with silken sailFled ghost-like over a silver sea,Swift to an island leper paleWhere dead hands furled the silken sail.Then to the island bore they me,And left me, stricken, there to seeMy silver ship with silken sailFade out across a silent sea.

A silver ship with silken sail
Fled ghost-like over a silver sea,
Swift to an island leper pale
Where dead hands furled the silken sail.
Then to the island bore they me,
And left me, stricken, there to see
My silver ship with silken sail
Fade out across a silent sea.
