Cs Parker Poet Villanelle

To a Sailor At Last the Seas of Rest

Fear I have fallen
The day she died
So why so sullen?

No one is callin’
For this first I cried
Fear I have fallen

In vein a trollin’
These seas have lied
So why so sullen?

No longer full an
Imperious tide
Fear I have fallen

Beneath a wall an
impart to ride
So why so sullen?

Have I forgotten?
So much loss I’ve tried
Fear I have fallen
So why so sullen?
