THE SHIP O' DREAMS, by FRANCES EVERTSON First Line: If all our thoughts were silver Last Line: And true dreams worth more than gold. Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors; Ships & Shipping; Seamen; Sails | ||||||||
If all our thoughts were silver And all our dreams were gold, The wealth would be far greater Than phantom ships could hold. The treasure ship o' dreams Sails out beyond the bar With faith the brave, good pilot And hope the guiding star. No fear of rocks or danger As fancy wanders free. Thoughts are jolly sailors Traveling many a distant sea. As it sails into Life's last harbor, May the ship o' dreams so bold, Store memories bright as silver And true dreams worth more than gold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAILS OF MURMUR by ANSELM HOLLO THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE TOM BOWLING ['S EPITAPH] by CHARLES DIBDIN HOW'S MY BOY? by SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL LOVE AT SEA by THEOPHILE GAUTIER THE FLAMING CIRCLE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE ROMANCE OF THE SWAN'S NEST by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
