Signs Of Life

At length did cross an albatross



Through the fog it came



As if it had been a Christian soul



We hailed it in God's name



It ate the food it ne'er had eat



And 'round and 'round it flew



The ice did split with a thunder fit



The helmsman steered us through



And a good south wind sprang up behind



The albatross did follow



And everyday for food or play



Came to the mariners' hollow
