GHOST SHIP

In the light of the full moon
You can see the ship at sea
Being tossed about on angry waves
Where no mortal man should be.

Standing on the deck alone
A captain takes his stand
Face frozen as in ice
A futile voice will demand

That his ship not be lost again
And then it fades from sight;
It's doomed to sail the sea again
Going down in ice each night.

'Twas many years ago, I'm told,
That the ship was lost at sea
Into the waves and ice it sank
Only to rise - throughout eternity.
