THE SEA-HOUNDS by MARGUERITE CHAPMAN

First Line: RELENTLESS, THE SEA - HOUNDS FOLLOW ON
Last Line: IN SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR BRIGHT BOMBAY.
Subject(s): SEA; TRAVEL; OCEAN; JOURNEYS; TRIPS;

Relentless, the sea-hounds follow on
Today and yesterday and the day before;
I suffered the sea-hounds, sea-hounds bay
And shall be off along the shore.

I shall be off and with the dawn
Though weary, weary am I of the way,
I would be rid of the sea-hound's fawn
In Spain or Portugal or bright Bombay.
