Oh, Peggy Was A Jolly Lass

by Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

'Oh, Peggy was a jolly lass,
Ye heave ho, boys, ye heave ho!
She never grudged her Jack a glass,
Ye heave ho, boys, ye heave ho!
And when he sailed the raging main,
She faithful was unto her swain,
Ye heave ho, boys, ye heave ho!'

    The Dreaming Things

    Oh, ye winged folk, art thou Sweet dreaming of my brothers taking wing? Ye butterflies of rainbow cloth, Art thou the fleeing ghosts of some bright fancy?
