Title: The Sea-Reapers
Author: Gilbert Parker [ More Titles by Parker]
When the Four Winds, the Wrestlers, strive with the Sun, When the Sun is slain in the dark; When the stars burn out, and the night cries To the blind sea-reapers, and they rise, And the water-ways are stark-- God save us when the reapers reap! When the ships sweep in with the tide to the shore, And the little white boats return no more; When the reapers reap, Lord, give Thy sailors sleep, If Thou cast us not upon the shore, To bless Thee evermore To walk in Thy sight as heretofore, Though the way of the Lord be steep! By Thy grace, Show Thy face, Lord of the land and the deep!
[The end] Gilbert Parker's poem: Sea-Reapers ________________________________________________
