Thread Name: Lyr Req: Franklin
Subject: RE: Franklin
I don't know what you call a fragment. Will this help:
Homeward bound one night on the deep Rocked in my hammock I fell asleep I dreamed a dream and I thought it treu Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew.
With a hundred seamen he sailed away Cross the western ocean in the month of May To find passage around the pole Where we poor seamen do sometimes go.
Through cruel hardships we made no go Our ship on mountains of ice was yhrown Where the eskimo in his skin canoe Are the only ones who ever get through.
In Baffin Bay where the whale fish blow, The fate of Franklin no man may know. The fate of Franklin no man may tell Lord Franklin along with his sailors do dwell.
And now my burden it gves me pain For my long lost Franklin I would cross the main Ten thousand pounds I would surely give To know on earth that my Franklin do live.
