Quotes

• North from the beautiful islands,
  North from the headlands and highlands,
  The long sea-wall,
  The white ships flee with the swallow;
  The day-beams follow and follow,
  Glitter and fall.
  • Gloucester Harbor

• Now that the wind is tamed and broken,
  And day gleams over the lea,
  Row, row, for the one you love
  Was out on the raging sea:
  Row, row, row,
  Sturdy and brave o’er the treacherous wave,
  Hope like a beacon before,
  Row, sailor, row
  Out to the sea from the shore!
  • After the Storm

• Over the ships that are anchored,
  Over the fleets that part,
  Over the cities dark by the shore,
  High as a dream thou art!
  • The Sea-Gull
