ADVENTURE by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY

First Line: WHO WOULD NOT LOVE TO GO
Last Line: TAKING, YOU FAIL.
Subject(s): ADVENTURE AND ADVENTURERS; MORNING;
Who would not love to go
Out where the breakers blow,
Curling and green and slow,
With a rose sail?
Lands there are far away,
Marvelous in the spray,
Turquoise by night, by day
Gold as the grail.
Morning's the time to start
Just with a tipsy heart.
Wisdom a tiny part
Taking, you fail.
