SEA GHOSTS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Over the waters
Last Line: "in the wind tonight!"
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean


Over the waters
The pale mists creep,
Souls of the sailors
The cold waves keep.

Up from the waters
And over the quay
Ghosts come back
To reality.

Over the flags
Of the winding street
They steal along
On silent feet.

In olden ways
They walk once more;
With fumbling fingers
They try each door.

We sit by the hearth
In the candle light;
"There are tears," we say,
"In the wind tonight!"
