CRUX VIA CAELORUM: 1, by PATRICK CAREY Poet's Biography First Line: Loudly the winds do blow Last Line: Than is a sailor for a little gold? Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors | ||||||||
LOUDLY the winds do blow, High do the sea-waves go; Where is the sailor now, I'd know? Amidst the billows (look) how he is tost, Yet hopes the shore t' obtain: In a small bark the ocean he has crosst: All for a little gain. He fits his sails to th' wind, Then carelessly he sings; The hope he has contents his mind, And comfort to him brings. Heaven for to gain then, shall I be less bold, Than is a sailor for a little gold? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTERN LONG ISLAND by MARVIN BELL SAILS OF MURMUR by ANSELM HOLLO LOST ABOARD U.S.S.
