WHOLE SEAS OVER by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: HALF SEAS OVER' IN RUIN IS DROWNED
Last Line: OVER THE WHOLE OF THE SUNDERING SEA.
Subject(s): SEA; OCEAN;
"Half seas over" in ruin is drowned;
"Whole seas over" has reached the firm ground.

"Half seas over" is lost and alone;
"Whole seas over" has met with his own.

"Half seas over" is tossed by the waves;
"Whole seas over" finds ally that saves.

So here is a hand, dear England, to thee,
Over the whole of the sundering sea.
