Seascape

Strains of delight come greet my ears

Such music sweet can ease all fears,

As windy waves upon the shore

Do calm the cormorant by their roar.

Refrão:

Wistfully watching i wonder

As ships go out to sea,

At mariners yonder

And how their lives must be.

With oceans to wander coves of tranquillity

Oh none could be fonder

Of his sailors life than he.

Sights of beauty come soothe my eyes.

Paint pictures pure to flay disguise,

Unchartered coastlines to appraise.

Refrão

Through foul or fair

All tempests you'll bear

Yet show not a care

For the danger you're in.

You leave all behind

Trade kin and your kind

For capstan to wind

And a yarn to spin.

Idyll of grandeur excite my mind,

Conjure up peace with adventure entwined;

Crystal clear fathoms and myriad wrecks,

Attired in booty arrayed on their decks.
