HUSH! oh ye billows, Hush! oh thou wind, Watch o'er us, angels, Mary, be kind! Fishermen followed The steps of the Lord; Oft in their fishing boats Preached He the Word. Pray for us, Pietro, Pray for us, John, Pray for us, Giacomo, Zebedee's son. If it be stormy, Fear not the sea; Jesus upon it Is walking by thee. Billows, be gentle, Soft blow the wind, Watch o'er us, angels, Mary, be kind! Soft be the billows, Gentle the wind, Angels watch over thee, Mary, be kind! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CANTICLE OF THE RACE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS APPELLATE JURISDICTION by MARIANNE MOORE TO A PRIZE BIRD by MARIANNE MOORE AND THEY OBEY by CARL SANDBURG FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN KEATS' DEATH by SARA TEASDALE |
