Moby Dick; Or, The Whale - Melville, Herman ยท 66 words
Our captain stood upon the deck, A spy glass in his hand, A viewing of those gallant whales That blew at every strand. Oh, your tubs in your boats, my boys, And by your braces stand, And well have one of those fine whales, Hand, boys, over hand. So, be cheery, my lads. may your hearts never fail. While the bold harpooner is striking the whale.
