SONG OF THE SUNBURNED SAILORS, by PAUL FORT First Line: To the sea their hearts they vow. They will not come again. And Last Line: Would they have really come? Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors; Sea; Singing & Singers; Seamen; Sails; Ocean; Songs | ||||||||
To the sea their hearts they vow. They will not come again. And even if they came would you recognise them now? The ocean masks a man. If they return a while, we know not if they smile or weep beneath their tan. Do they bring back their souls? No. Still at sea they toil. How ardently it rolls, greedy for precious spoil! They will not come again. They choose waste seas to roam. And even if they came would they have really come? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY A PORTFOLIO OF SKETCHES: THE LITTLE ANNUITANT by PAUL FORT |
