Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Absence; Love; Sailing & Sailors; Solitude; Separation; Isolation; Loneliness
His heart sings louder than the shrilling gale,
His bosom riots in the blustering breeze,
His cheeks caress the lash of sleet and hail,
His spirit soars beyond the thundering seas,
His eager eyes peer thro' the watery veil
For those white cliffs that can alone appease,
His plunging prow spurns the deterrent blast,
His full sail swells before the straining mast.
