Subject(s): Sea Voyages; Storms
There's a far wet way to the journey's end,
A wide wild way ere the storm's spew spend.
There's a black blind way where the starred course bends,
There's a choked, charred way should the fanned fires rend,
A jagged, jutted way where the gaunt drifts trend—
But the sands lie soft and the grasses bend
Where the headboards show—Sleep well, my friend!
