| Arthur Quiller-Couch, comp. The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse. 1922. | | | | Traveller’s Hope | | By Charles Granville |
| | | LAY me to rest in some fair spot | |
| Where sound of waters near, | |
| And songs of sailors in their ships | |
| Shall reach my waiting ear: | |
| |
| Where I shall catch the Captain’s call: | 5 |
| ‘All hands again to sea!’ | |
| When swift embarking, I may fare | |
| To founts of life to be; | |
| |
| Fare to the dream’d-of lands that lie | |
| Beyond the Port of Death; | 10 |
| Fare to the Dawn of whose glad realms | |
| God sometimes whispereth; | |
| |
| With hope of flowers that lift their heads | |
| After the night is past, | |
| And joy of sailors in their ships | 15 |
| When home ’s in sight at last. | | | | |
