The Sailer Boy
The world below
Hath not for me
Such a fair and glorious sight;
As an English ship
On a rippling sea,
In the full moon's placid light.
image of three masted,
two funnelled ship
The sea-boy hanging
On the shrouds
Chants out his fitful song,
And watches the scud
Of fleecy clouds,
That melts as it flows along.
Oh! what is there
On the sluggard land
That I love so well to mark,
In the hallow'd light
Of the still midnight
As I do a dancing bark.
