SAILING, by DOROTHY ALLEN First Line: Swiftly cutting through the water Last Line: Nor sigh; but sing and laugh with me. Subject(s): Boats; Play; Sailing & Sailors; Sports; Waves; Seamen; Sails | ||||||||
SWIFTLY cutting through the water, Falling spray on either side, Coyly dipping, Rising, skipping, Borne along by wind and tide, Merrily my boat doth glide. Oh, the sunlight, how it flickers, Showering diamonds on the way! Madly dancing, Shining, glancing, Slyly beckoning, come and play, Be, like us, bright, free, and gay. And I sing a song for gladness, Send it echoing toward the sea; I am happy, Happy, happy! Blow ye winds! Blow joyfully, Nor sigh; but sing and laugh with me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAILS OF MURMUR by ANSELM HOLLO THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE TOM BOWLING ['S EPITAPH] by CHARLES DIBDIN HOW'S MY BOY? by SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL LOVE AT SEA by THEOPHILE GAUTIER OUR LORD AND OUR LADY by HILAIRE BELLOC |
