The Selfish Lover's Seaside Request

THE SELFISH LOVER'S SEASIDE REQUEST

                                  Oh, Boundless Mighty Wind
                                  Effortlessly you can afford
                                  This one small
                                             Secret 
                                        Generosity--
                     Grasp sweetly the frail billowing sail
                              of my lover’s homebound craft--
                                        Safely ease
                                            With
                       Your one simple effortless breath
                                     My love
                     Past wretched storm ward isles
                         
                        T’would fill my love aching arms--
                               Yet still leave  you
                                     Countless men to 
                                         drown and dally --
                             	 to Satiate your Whimsical Fury.
