THE MERMAIDS, by GWYNNE ABBOTT First Line: Away with the blast of the wind that blows Last Line: And the waves carry off the rest. Subject(s): Mermaids & Mermen; Sea; Waves; Ocean | |||
Away with the blast of the wind that blows Where the mighty stream of the ocean flows, Where the sun looks down on the laughing sea And the waves dance over it merrily, We ride on the water's breast, On the billow's mighty crest, And we sing as we play with the sparkling spray, But no ear can hear what our voices say, For half is borne by the breeze away And the waves carry off the rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS |
