Alfred Berggren Poet Rhyme

Blackened Silhouettes Fill the Skies

Blackened silhouettes fill the skies
Take heed to coming wind and rain.
Listen to the swirling gull cries
No chance of weighing anchor now
My ship’s the schooner Laurie Jane
With a Neptune sprite at the bow.
We’re for Sumatra come first chance
A fine load of tea ours to gain 
Waiting to sail is a dog’s dance
Now such heinous blackened skies rain.
