First Line: I little thought to see red sails
Last Line: In devon hills at dawning.
Subject(s): Plymouth, England; Sailing & Sailors; Sea; Seamen; Sails; Ocean
I little thought to see red sails
In quiet waters lying,
Or hear the whir of snow-white gulls
Above the harbor flying.
I had not dreamed of old stone towers
Soft skies above them bending,
Etched on horizons where white roads
Run off without an ending.
I had not felt the hush that breathes
From out an English morning.
I did not know that God would be
In Devon hills at dawning.
