Songs and Poems of Frances McLeod

 Frances McLeod wrote touching tunes. Here are East African family poems and songs from the British colonial era, a time now vanished. They are comforting melodies with a lullaby feeling, capturing the leisurely pace of a lifestyle that has all but disappeared.

Sad Little Ship

When my sad little ship slips its moorings

And sets sail all alone

On the wide unknown sea,

It will soon reach the great shores eternal,

And I'll see someone there, standing waiting for me.

I'm going to my loved one who's waiting for me;

Joy is to be in my destiny;

Gone are the memories of tears shed apart,

Nothing can break my heart.

Fear not the tempest, fear not the gales,

Faith has now filled my sails,

I need no moonlight,

I need no star,

Your love will guide me from afar,

My heart will tell me where you are.
