Sailor's Song
" Sailor's Song "
We set our sails so we did as if to run so free~
For so 'twere such that we should be whate'er we might be~
We sailed well down 'cross that line where climate is so fine~
We sailed e'en there where was no such very fun or time~
So we sailed each day & each & every dawn~
Each dusk our thoughts a'new another course did spawn~
Yet ne'er 'ad we sailed a'sea o'time o'all a'gone~
For then this of that is such we sing this so windblown song~
Of seas & sailors all a'muck & time yet gone all wrong~
All 'ave done & danced well down with mirth 'mongst silly throng~
For those that sail now these seas o'time well spent back~
Yet not one seems to know to please on any given tack~
'Til all 'as been naught but dream o'times long well since gone~
For all 'ad sailed those seas of yore & spent such time so won~
We'd sailed down & crossed that line where man should ne'er go~
We'd seen such winds as ne'er could imagination e'en blow~
Far off lands & seas o'green did us so then enthrall~
For to us yet 'twas a task ever then so set for all~
We'd sail for nuaght but which wild winds did so then prevail~
We'd sail well down under that which caused most all to pale~
So then thus we all did find that which was o'mind~
A sea o'grace & kindly face o'different sort o'kind~
We'd done our best to sail that crest o'swells hard a'sea~
Yet 'ad we known all along we were destined to just be we~
We who love the sea & salt & splendor o'that wave~
For 'tis that which some say we shall find ourselves an early grave~
Yet we who ken such things a'sea know such will ne'er be~
For no earthen plot shall e'er serve a true sailor o'wild sea!
