New Bedford days
O'er a highland crag
I chanced to glance
While watching dolphins play
Beyond the mist
My gaze did drift
To a sky, so set ablaze
A sailing ship,
With full masts high
On whose mainsail waltzed the sun
While at her bow,The silverfish flew
At her stern
The dolpins did run
And was I but a lad of ten
Still could I her her call
And I left my home, on Bedford's Town
To the tide my young heart did fall
And with the waves went the years
Never New England I saw again
A wayfaring soul, was Neptune's toll
For o'er two score and ten
Now sometimes back
Through the years I journey
To cobbled streets
And new fish frying
To a wide eyed lad
On a highland crag
Watching gulls soar
And silverfish fying
But be they distant memories
I recall
Where the dolphins played
And on dreams gentle shores
The gulls glide once more
And, I return to New Bedford days.
