NOW I WENT OUT TO SEEK NEW WORLDS TO TELL PEOPLE MY STORY AND I TRAVELLED SO VERY FAR FOR GOLD AND FOR GLORY AND YOU’RE WITH ME IN EVERY WORD IN EVERY THOUGHT AND I’M WITH YOU, MY LOVE AND YOU SENT ME THOSE MANY BLESSINGS STRONGER THAN A THOUSAND SHIPS OF WAR
FEEL LIKE THE EARTH IN THESE COLD WINTER DAYS LEFT FOR A WHILE WITHOUT THE SUN’S LIFE-GIVING RAYS BUT IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND THOUGH WAR CONQUERS KINGS SEEMS TO RULE THE EARTH AND EARTHLY THINGS AND WAR MIGHT SWALLOW ME IT HAS NOT POISONNED THEE
AND YOU’RE WITH ME IN EVERY WORD IN EVERY THOUGHT AND I’M WITH YOU, MY LOVE IT’S HARD TO LEAVE THE PURPOSE I SO LONG HAD SOUGHT IT’S HARD TO LEAVE ON A SHIP OF WAR IT’S HARD TO LEAVE YOU, DEAR
