Sweet and low, sweet and low,
wind of the western sea,
low, low, breathe and blow,
wind of the western sea!
5over the rolling waters go,
come from the dropping moon and blow,
blow him again to me;
while my little one, while my pretty one sleeps.

sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
father will come to thee soon;
10rest, rest, on mother's breast,
father will come to thee soon;
father will come to his babe in the nest,
silver sails all out of the west
under the silver moon:
sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
