A Shanty

Title: A Shanty

Author: Canto Canzione

Aye, have crossed o'er the sea --

The brineways, cold and dark and deep.

Have rid the rolling coils of waves

Out where the seagulls wail and weep.

And though my heart is salted through,

Cold and deep as any mere,

Away out on the Ocean blue,

I've never once known ought of fear.

For he who rides the brineways cold

And he, the lover to the Sea

Will ever find his mistress bold

And with her's he'll long to be.
