It's a Long Way

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.

Written by William Stanley Braithwaite (1878-1962)
