"O, it's southwards from Southampton!
and she takes the Channel gay,
But many a heart is bleeding as she stands across the bay;
And it may be just a parting where
we've known a hundred more,
Yet many a heart is breaking as the tender swings ashore.
And the handkerchiefs are waving, ship to steamer, line to line,
And a wail upon the water in the words of Auld Lang Syne"
- by Scottish / Australian poet W. H. Ogilvie
