SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 17 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE VERY SAILS ARE SINGING
Last Line: FOR ECSTASY OF THEE.
Subject(s): SONGS;

The very sails are singing
A song not of the wind;
A fire dance is creaming
Our wake that runs behind.
In all the shining splendid
White moonflower of the sea,
There's not a runnel sleeping
For ecstasy of thee.
