For Joseph Conrad
NOT of the dust, but of the waveHis final couch should be;They lie not easy in a graveWho once have known the sea.How shall earth’s meagre bed enthrallThe hardiest seaman of them all?
NOT of the dust, but of the waveHis final couch should be;They lie not easy in a graveWho once have known the sea.How shall earth’s meagre bed enthrallThe hardiest seaman of them all?
NOT of the dust, but of the wave
NOT of the dust, but of the wave
His final couch should be;
They lie not easy in a grave
Who once have known the sea.
How shall earth’s meagre bed enthrall
The hardiest seaman of them all?
