2. "over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar ... Samual Taylor Coleridge Wailing wind amid strongest ocean storm Night falls swiftly on tumultuous scene Sailors aware for they have been well-warned This is their reality not a dream. Through long hours before sun ordains to rise Neptune's wrath bombards with no sign of grace Mariners strong, elements they defy Lighthouse aids battle and fear is erased. As ocean's tantrum slowly does abate Sunrise breaks through the darkest of dark night Yet, sailors' love of ocean 'tis innate Phlegmatic, fearless men removed from fright.
