First Line: I do not ask for love, ah! No,
Last Line: To sink in quiet seas.
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
I do not ask for love, -- ah! no,
Nor friendship's happiness,
These were relinquished long ago
I search for something less.
I seek a little, tranquil bark
In which to drift at ease
Awhile, and then quite silently
To sink in quiet seas.
