THE ROWERS' CHANT, by THOMAS STURGE MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: Row till the land dip 'neath Last Line: For which you sought. Alternate Author Name(s): Moore, T. Sturge Subject(s): Rowing; Sea; Ocean | ||||||||
ROW till the land dip 'neath The sea from view. Row till a land peep up, A home for you. Row till the mast sing songs Welcome and sweet, Row till the waves, out-stripped, Give up, dead beat. Row till the sea-nymphs rise To ask you why, Rowing, you tarry not To hear them sigh. Row till the stars grow bright Like certain eyes. Row till the noon be high As hopes you prize. Row till you harbour in All longing's port. Row till you find all things For which you sought. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS BEAUTIFUL MEALS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE |
