The Sea is a Mistress

The mighty vessel outward sailed

Unto the vastness of the sea

Where, lingering moon and vibrant sun

Cast brightest blue and vivid green

 

The splendid ship named Sea Spray Sway

Held captive men to sailors make

For to the sea, they made their vows

And of their hearts, the sea did take

 

For fifteen days so lost at sea

Their rations dwindled and spirits died

Deaths occurred and fights ensued

Until, from crow’s nest, land was spied

 

No land as wondrous as they found

For carried them to there, the tide

Though seeking life from solid ground

They’d not give up the sea, their bride
