Our journey took us, far away, to the sea

Twilight had settled, on the captain and me

Moon lighted the way, though we saw not ahead

The billowing clouds, that meant imminent dread

The sky was laced, with pinks and blues

Our sails, like bellows, held the wind, as it blew

We traveled through waters, so calm and serene

Merely ripples of waves, such a peaceful scene

But the darkness grew closer, as we sailed, on and on

Never again to been seen, in the light of the dawn
