poem / maiden-by-the-oceans

Beneath the moonless night sky Forlorn I stood, awake and in wait of A gruff and tough sailor from lands beyond Who held me dearest in his heart

Putting on a charming smile Many a time has he rowed up to me And twirling a strand of my hair whispered "Will you be mine, young maiden by the oceans?"

"Together we shall conquer the seven seas and Sail through raging tempests around the world I'll make you my queen", the glint in his eyes said, "Forever, and forever aye!"

Under the dull green glow of The solitary streetlamp on the beach today Alone I stood in the silent sands of the night Thinking of my lovesick sailor beyond the bay
