How many lips
Have lost their bloom,
How many ships
Gone down to gloom,
Since keel and sail
Have fled out from me
Over the thunder and strain of the sea!
Its kale-dark sides
Throb in the tides;
The long winds over it spin and hum;
How many lips
Have lost their bloom,
How many ships
Gone down to gloom,
Since keel and sail
Have fled out from me
Over the thunder and strain of the sea!
Its kale-dark sides
Throb in the tides;
The long winds over it spin and hum;
