	You're working for comfort at home, Day by day, in your dull mill-horse round; We'd rather with waves and winds roam, Than, nailed to your desks, we'd be found ; Month by month, the same bustle and fuss You go through, the same dull pens you drive; Your street life, it wouldn't suit us ; Why, mates, it's not being alive; What though, blast and storm, we must face ? Round the globe all alive we are swept; We'd not with you landsmen change place, Though the watch, calm or storm, must be kept.
