Cicely Fox Smith Poems

The ships that trade foreign, to London they bear
Their cargoes unnumbered both common and rare,
...

Twice twenty thousand tons of steel obey his sole command:
He rules, a king whose lightest word is law from land to land:
...

Wind from the eastward whose breath goes seaward surely
Over the cold grey rollers that hold me apart,
...

Slushy's a Dutchman, he's a crackerjack at music,
He can play the ocarina,
And the German concertina,
...

The
Jane Price
of Swansea
Thirty days out,
...

I always rather bar
A Bazaar.
...

I always rather bar -
A bazaar.
...

'I've 'ad,' said Dan, 'a sight o' curios,
But where they've gone, Lord knows!
The junk I've packed around, alive an' dead,
...

Dan -
Beats the band as a shantyman.

On the tip-top concert platform Dan'd never be the rage.
...

Here's the dream I had, boys, an' I tell you true,
I saw the old Fulmar plain as I see you -
I saw the old Fulmar as she used to be
...
