SAILS, by                    
First Line: To fancy sails upon the seas
Last Line: And bring my love to me.
Subject(s): Absence; Sea; Separation; Isolation; Ocean


To fancy sails upon the seas,
To watch them float and sway,
Wending their tireless way
Like great white birds upon the breeze.
And as I watch them sailing by,
They seem to drift afar;
I catch a gleam against the sky
Like some bright lone star.

I wonder if by chance some day
These sails that ride the sea
Will journey back this way,
And bring my love to me.
