The Ships Of The Sea

Title:     The Ships Of The Sea
Author: Cale Young Rice [More Titles by Rice]

Into port when the sun was setting
Rode the ship that bore my love,
Over the breakers wildly fretting,
Under the skies that shone above.

Down to the beach I ran to meet him;
He would come as he had said:
And he came--in a sailor's coffin,
Dead!...

O the ships of the sea! the women
They from all hope but Heaven part!
The tide has nothing now to tell me,
The breakers only break my heart!

[The end]
Cale Young Rice's poem: Ships Of The Sea
