<h3 id="Vale">Vale*</h3>
<p>LONE Voyager! Thy Ship of Dreams<br/>
Spreads its free sail and slips away<br/>
Into the distant visioning<br/>
That lies behind the end of day.</p>
<p>The restless tide’s impatient wave<br/>
In from the broad Pacific rolls<br/>
And sunset marks a mystic way<br/>
To the far-shining Port of Souls.</p>
<p>We, watching on the darkening shore,<br/>
Wave you farewell, and strain our eyes<br/>
Till that bright speck which is your sail<br/>
Is lost in the enfolding skies.</p>
<p>Brave Heart, Sweet Singer! Speed you well<br/>
To those dim islands of the blest,<br/>
Far—far—and ever farther, till<br/>
The end of distance brings you rest!</p>
