    Such a lovely lullaby-type song for Canada, by Allistair MacGillivray.

    Lyrics:

    Small craft in the harbour that's still and serene
    Give no indication what their ways have been
    They rock at their moorings all nestled in dreams
    Away from the roll of the sea

    The stern lines are groaning a lullaby air
    A ghost in the cuddy; a gull on the spar
    But never they whisper of journeys afar
    Away from the roll of the sea

    Oh, had they the tongues for to speak
    What tales of adventure they'd weave
    But now they are anchored to sleep and slumber
    A-lee (a-lee)

    Come fair winds to wake them tomorrow, we pray
    Come harvest a-plenty to them every day
    Till guided by harbour lights they're home to stay
    Away from the roll of the sea

    Oh, had they the tongues for to speak
    What tales of adventure they'd weave
    But now they are anchored to sleep and slumber
    A-lee (a-lee)

    Come fair winds to wake them tomorrow, we pray
    Come harvest a-plenty to them every day
    Till guided by harbour lights they're home to stay
    Away from the roll of the sea
