THE SAILOR AND THE SEA

STANDING BY THE MAIN MAST, LOOKING AT THE SEA
THINKING OF THE MOON, GAZING AT THE STARRY SKY
THE SEA WAS CALM AND THE WIND WAS MILD
SO HE WISHED TO STAND THERE SO LONG HE COULD
HE WAS ON THE DECK AS PART OF HIS DUTY
THEN CAME THE CALL OF THE SEA, AS HE WAS ALONE
HIS MIND WAS WANDERING THEN LIKE
A WANDERING SHIP WITHOUT MASTER
THEN HE SAW RIPPLES AND WHITE HORSES
RESEMBLED THE FLOATING MERMAIDS SILVER HAIR
THE THOUGHTS MADE HIM SAD, SO HE WENT MAD
HE WAS THE PRINCE THEN WHO SHE LONGED FOR
THEN CAME THE CALL OF SKY, AS HE WAS ALONE
SO HE LOOKED UP AND SAW THE SMILING MOON
NAVIGATOR HE WAS, SO HE SHOOT THE STARS
OBSERVER HE WAS, SO HE OBSERVED THE ORION
THEN HE SAW THE VAST HORIZON AHEAD OF HIM
WHERE THE SKY STARTED LIKE A POOL OF STARS
THE LANTERNS WERE SEEN TO HIM TWINKLING
OF THE VESSELS PASSER BY IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SEA
THE SEA WAS CALM AND THE WIND WAS MILD
SO HE SAT ON THE DECK AND SANG A SONG
THEN CAME THE CALL OF DUTY, SO HE LEFT THE DECK
THE SAILOR WAS LOYAL TO THE SEA.. SO WAS THE SEA
