IT'S A LONG WAY
Reading edition
WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE
It's a long way the sea-winds blow Over the sea-plains blue,— But longer far has my heart to go Before its dreams come true. It's work we must, and love we must, And do the best we may, And take the hope of dreams in trust To keep us day by day. It's a long way the sea-winds blow— But somewhere lies a shore— Thus down the tide of Time shall flow My dreams forevermore.
