OCEAN MIGHTIER THAN THE LAND, by ANNETTE WYNNE Last Line: And kiss her hand? Subject(s): Sea | ||||||||
OCEAN, mightier than the land. Wilful, turbulent, and wild. Will you love a little child And kiss her hand? Ocean, when I play with you, The pretty waves are soft and blue. But sailors who have sailed away Tell you do not always play. Far off you toss the great big ships Just like tiny wooden chips; Tell me, for I want to know Why you act just so? Ocean mightier than the land. Wilful, boisterous and wild ''" Will you love a little child And kiss her hand? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
