MEMORIES by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: AS HIS YARN A SEAMAN SPINS
Last Line: O'ER TIME'S SEA OF SONGS AND SINS.
Subject(s): EYES; LIFE; MEMORY; PAST; SAILING & SAILORS; SEA; SHIPS & SHIPPING; TIME; SEAMEN; SAILS; OCEAN;

AS his yarn a seaman spins
With a twinkle in his eye,
Weaving wonders from the past
While his ship heaves o'er the brine;
So the memories that are mine
Tell their tale beside the mast
Of Life's bark, that bellies by
O'er Time's sea of songs and sins.
