HORIZONS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A man whose ships never come home
Last Line: And night -- and stormy circumstance.
Subject(s): Fate; Hearts; Sea; Ships & Shipping; Destiny; Ocean


A man whose ships never come home
Looks ever to sea -- it must be so;
Horizons are his destiny;
He has no other weal or woe.
Toil as he may at another keel
To launch upon another chance,
His heart sees only wind and wave
And night -- and stormy circumstance.
