SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 112 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: OUR ISLE IS A MAGIC SHIP
Last Line: OF THE BREATHLESS VOYAGE DETERS!
Subject(s): LOVE;

Our isle is a magic ship;
You can feel it swing and dip,
Running the long blue slopes
Of sliding sea,
With you and me
The only adventurers.
The sails of the snow are spread.
See how we forge ahead!
Good-by, old summers and sorrows!
O brave and dear
Whom never a fear
Of the breathless voyage deters!
