English poem
Ferry Me Across The Water
by Ella Flagg Young (1845–1918)
"Ferry me across the water, Do, boatman, do." "If you've a penny in your purse, I'll ferry you."
"I have a penny in my purse, And my eyes are blue; So ferry me across the water, Do, boatman, do."
"Step into my ferry-boat, Be they black or blue, And for the penny in your purse I'll ferry you."
