Ships at Sea
Born 1877.
BY ROBERT S. COFFIN.


/ have ships that went to sea
More than fifty years ago;
None have yet come home to me,
: But are sailing to and fro.
/ have seen them in my sleep
Plunging through the shoreless deep
With tattered sails and battered hulis
While around them screamed the gulls
Flying low, flying low.
I have wondered why they strayed
From me, sailing round the world;
And I've said, I'm half afraid
That their sails viii meier be furled.'
Great the treasures that they hold
Silks and plumes and bars OF gold;
While the spices that they bear
Fill with fragrance all the air,
As they sail, As they sail.
