a SEA GHOST
oh, fisher fleet. go in from the sea
The bay is gray with the twilit spray,
And the loud surf springs.
The chili buoy bell is rung by the hands
Who know the woe Of the wind and tow
OF the tides around.
Go in, go in! Oh haste from the sea
And let them rest
A son, and one who was wed. and one
Who went down unblest
Aye even whose hands at the bell
The tomb has gloom, but obi the doom
OF the drear sea ghost!
He evermore must wander the ooze
Beneath the wave.
Forlorn, to warn of the tempest born,
And TO save-to save.
Then go; go in and leave us the sea.
Can peace release us and give us ease
Ot our salty woe.
