    Lord, Thou hast made this world below the shadow of a dream,
    An', taught by time, I tak' it so--exceptin' always steam,
    From coupler-flange to spindle-guide I see thy Hand, O God--
    Predestination in the stride o' yon connectin'-rod.

The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds--
The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband an' 'e gives 'er all she needs;

They're just the same as you an' me, a'-plyin' up an' down.

The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.
