Northern Sea
" Northern Sea "
Sailors a'sea in latitudes north~
Aloft do look with eyes whet keen~
Naught but desire to sight back or forth~
Such that might through darkest night be seen~
So it may be as winds thus prevail~
Above silent heavens great bear does lurk~
Yet as well in distance dark sea sirens may wail~
Such feeling o'wonder these sailors mightn't shirk~
Yet while 'tis true for all who set a'sea~
That whatever may come may not be o'choice~
Aloft in those heavens heard oft a plea~
Risen from past ventures yet with uncertain voice~
Tales o'men whose times were thus bold~
Given to wanderin' those depths o'that north~
Told thus so within folds o'breeze cold~
Amidst & amongst stars a'dazzle back & forth~
Listen well do these lads... rightly such so~
For into these tales their very hearts do so go~
Men under sails spread full to spring's wind~
Caring naught o'glory nor o'them may have sinned~
For under such stars all do so stand~
In manner quite different then those o'the land~
Respect o'past... present & future~
'Tis such to which is for these then that lure~
One day in a land or on a sea far far off~
May thusly be told or heard from aloft~
Tales of adventures born a'such sky~
As may only be seen from sailor's keen eye~
A'twinkle then so on darkest o'nights~
Songs o'sirens... maidens & maids~
Ribald encounters... wildest o'frights~
Within such folds o'heavens delights~
Naught but treasure when seen from a'deck~
Minds a'wanderin' yet oft in check~
Do so then learn such riches are free~
These who have chosen a'wanderin' such sea~
Darkest o'dark nights ... spring in near bloom~
Sailors under stars fillin' heaven's room~
Clouds high aloft feathery soft~
Then best heard sweet siren's wail aloft~
O'er windsong... heard through spring's gales~
She's a'singing so softly o'sailors northern sea tales~
