COLUMBUS was a brave man, On the land and sea, He loved his God, his men, his land, His sail-boats three. Columbus and his sailors Went venturing on the sea, O they went sailing far and wide In sail-boats three. The Pinta and the Niña And the blessèd Santa Marie, And these were brave and gallant boats As ever took to sea. If we should go a-sailing Upon the great, broad sea, We'd never see such sailors Or sail-boats three! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLAME LIGHTS UP by DAVID IGNATOW THE OCTOROON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SHE WEEPS OVER RAHOON by JAMES JOYCE MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS BATTLEDORE AND SHUTTLECOCK by AMY LOWELL |
