  • "Then I'll haste to wed a sailor and send him off to sea For a life of independence is the pleasant life for me But every now and then I would like to see his face For it always seems to me to beam with a manly grace With his brow so nobly open and his dark and kindly eye Oh my heart beats fondly towards him whenever he is nigh But when he says goodbye me love I'm off across the sea First I cry for his departure then I laugh because I'm free" -- Eliza Brock, 18th Century Nantucket Islander
