Up this world and down this world, And over this world and through, Though drifted about, And tossed without, Why, paddle your ewn canoe. Or shining a field of blue: If the bleak wind blows, Or the sunshine glows, Still paddle your own canoe. What if breakers rise up ahead. With dark waves rushing through, Move steadily by With a steady eye, And paddle your own canoe. If a hurricane rise in the morning skies, And the stars are lost to view, Glide safely along, With a smlle and a song, And paddle your own canoe. Up this world and down this world, All over this world and through, Though weary and worn, Bereft and forlorn, Still paddle your own canoe. Never give up when trials come, Never grow sad and blue; Never sit down With a tear and a frown, But paddle your own canoe. Blooming and sweet for you; There are rose hued dyes In the autumn s Then paddle your own canoe. Select Viterature, loway Prison. Arew weeks since I had the pleasure of meeting at a dinner party the Chaplain of the City Prison at ILolloway.
