This is such a great verse to find on a Sunderland jug!

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 lov’d the best
A wife and infant dear;
And feeling fill’d the sailor’s breast,
The sailor’s eye—a tear.
