Home From The Sea Poem by David Wood
Home From The Sea
As we go forth a sailing
On a starry, starry night
With the wind moaning and hailing
And a full moon still and bright
And those rolling waves a pounding
Like galloping white horses
With the mate taking a depth sounding
And the navigator setting courses.
The wind singing in the rigging
And the sails set a reef or two
With the whole ship’s crew a singing
And my home thoughts just of you.
Our home port just a day away
As the ship pounds through the waves
Soon we can drink, rest and play
And not make the sea our graves.
Soon I will be with you dear wife
In our home right by the sea
Once again you’ll be the centre of my life
As things just ought to be.
Nice poem, lamenting and longing to meet the wife! It is unfortunate you had not taken your wife also in the ship!
Beautiful poem of returning home to be with your dear wife. Poem with full of love and devotion.
I see the poet's yearning for the lover. A lover so dear is always fresh in memory. Great dedication expressed in the poem. I have been missing your poems for some time.
A magnificent poem! Beautiful poetic expression....loved it
Sailor's urge for union with wife [family] and cozy comfort of sweet home, so very well expressed. and not make the sea our grave underlines sailor's yearnings or...........?
I really enjoyed this very passionate and loving write. The rough sea with its ferocious waves are made calmer by the longings and adoration of a love one.It touched my heart and senses. Lovely.
A fantastic poem, the yearning for the ones we love would see us go through anything to be with them.
