With Shipwrights’ Arms on one side, poem on the other in a floral wreath below a schooner (transfers):

THE SAILOR’S TEAR

He leap’d into the boat;

As it lay upon the strand,

But, oh! his heart was far away,

With friends upon the land.

He thought of those he loved the best,

A wife and infant dear;

And feeling fill’d the sailor’s breast,

The sailor’s eye a tear.
