CHAPTER XIII
"I was a sailor, sailing on sweet seas,
Trading in singing birds and humming bees.
But now I sail no more before the breeze.
You were a pirate met me on the sea;
You spoke, with life behind you, suddenly;
You stepped upon my ship, and spoke to me:
And while you took my hand and kissed my lips,
You sank my ships, you sank my sailing ships."
