OTHER LITTLE SHIPS, by EDNA BINTLIFF First Line: Oh you little, wand'ring little Last Line: Leaving you, alone. Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors; Ships & Shipping; Solitude; Seamen; Sails; Loneliness | |||
Oh you little, wand'ring little, Foolish, little ships, Sailing in the peaceful wake Of that Beloved Sail. Little knowing, never caring Why the wondrous calm, Why your vaunted safety From every frightened gale. Oh you little, wand'ring little, Foolish, little ships, Do not trust the treacherous sea Nor the muted wind, Though you know not, though you care not Whence that marvelous calm, Lest the Blessed Ship sail on, Leaving you, alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES |
