HORIZONS by CALE YOUNG RICE

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.
