MY GRIEF ON THE SEA, by ANONYMOUS Last Line: His mouth to my mouth Subject(s): Grief;sea;sea Voyages; Sorrow;sadness;ocean | ||||||||
MY grief on the sea, How the waves of it roll! For they heave between me And the love of my soul! Abandon'd, forsaken, To grief and to care, Will the sea ever waken Relief from despair? My grief and my trouble! Would he and I were, In the province of Leinster, Or County of Clare! Were I and my darling -- O heart-bitter wound! -- On board of the ship For America bound. On a green bed of rushes All last night I lay, And I flung it abroad With the heat of the day. And my Love came behind me, He came from the South; His breast to my bosom, His mouth to my mouth. | 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 TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
