OUTWARDS AND HOMEWARDS, by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON Poet's Biography First Line: Still are the ships that in haven ride Last Line: Look, and learn from the ships of the deep! Subject(s): Ships & Shipping | ||||||||
STILL are the ships that in haven ride, Waiting fair winds or a turn of the tide; Nothing they fret, though they do not get Out on the glorious ocean wide. Oh, wild hearts, that yearn to be free, Look, and learn from the ships of the sea! Bravely the ships, in the tempest tossed, Buffet the waves till the sea be crossed; Not in despair of the haven fair, Though winds blow backward, and leagues be lost; Oh, weary hearts, that yearn for sleep, Look, and learn from the ships of the deep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW THE SHIP POUNDING by DONALD HALL ULTRAISTA ONEIRIC by ANSELM HOLLO THE NORTH SHIP by PHILIP LARKIN GOOD SHIPS by JOHN CROWE RANSOM LIGHT [AND LOVE] by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON |
