Southampton harbour in the Spring On a sunny April day The shouts of stevedores pulling ropes And a liner huge and grey Some anxious soldiers march and pace The busy, noisy dock A sweeping seagull screams farewell - the echo seems to mock The liner shifts her great hulk; sirens sound A shrill salute to this great ship on her last voyage bound Six hundred war brides crowd on deck to watch the fading shore The wartime years - "blood sweat and tears" go deep in memory’s core White capped water, smoking stacks the land now ribbon thin When can we hope to see again Our country and our kin.
