Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship read more

Seek not for fresher founts afar,
Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship right onward leaps,
Uplift it from the exhaustless deeps.

The stream of hope flow everywhere--
So under every sky and star,
Just drop your bucket where you are.
