THE fisherman's swapping a yarn for a yarn The Fisherman's swapping a yarn for a yarn Under the hand of the village barber, Under the hand of the village barber, And here in the angle of house and barn And here in the angle of house and barn His deep-sea dory has found a harbor. His deep-sea dory has found a harbor. At anchor she rides the sunny sod At anchor she rides the sunny sod As full to the gunnel with flowers a-growing As full to the gunnel with flowers a-growing As ever she turned her home with cod As ever she turned her home with cod From George's Bank when winds were blowing. From George's Bank when winds were blowing. And I know from that Elysian freight And I know from that Elysian freight She will brave but once more the Atlantic weather, She will brave but once more the Atlantic weather, When dory and fisherman sail by fate When dory and fisherman sail by fate To seek for the Happy Isles together. To seek for the Happy Isles together. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN THE GREAT BLACK HERON by DENISE LEVERTOV ISLA MUJERES by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SCHOOLS OF LITTLE FISH by MARVIN BELL TWO PICTURES OF A LEAF by MARVIN BELL OF FISH AND FISHERMEN by JOHN CIARDI |
