"destined"

So sailed they then o'er seas well spent~ Torn their skys & mastheads back bent~ Under their bowsprits well to a'sea~ From ravages o'wind did'st they then flee~ Down from their bulwarks & under their keels~ Sharks & Dorados & green Moray eels~ Mermaids a'singin' shantys o'love~ Sailin' a'sunder moon black above~ Marseilles & Gibraltar they sailed all a'tune~ Meldemi & Cyclones & greatest Typhoon~ Thallasa & Caribbean with Sargasso a'drift~ Sails o'wind & bows so swift~ Madagascar & Seychelles then great Horn~ O'seas o'which all tales ayre born~ Azorians Atlantians e'er so wanderin'~ Ocean's depths naught fer a'ponderin'~ Equator thus crossed once & then twice~ Tropic o'Cancer & towerin' white ice~ Gales blown wildly o'Cape Verde's storms~ Life's blood then o'ethereal forms~ Down down down did'st they go~ Sailors o'seas when winds did'st so blow~ Round 'round 'round & about~ Ships & sailors verily so stout~ Cliffs o'Dover & Isle o'Man~ Fjords o'Vikings so 'twas a'plan~ Off then across blue wide & deep~ They to themselves a promise to keep~ Ne'er again seen were those hands~ O'ships then so sailed a'far distant lands~ Sails black & torn o'hell bent~ Hulls a'twisted & minds well spent~ Under they went to bottom at last~ Down deep steps & into cold past~ Sailors all & lives o'great deed~ Years so destined o'hearts in such need~ SeaWolf ©
