SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 95 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: UP AND UP, THEY ALL COME UP
Last Line: IN THE GOLDEN WEATHER.
Subject(s): SHIPS & SHIPPING; HOMECOMING;
Up and up, they all come up
Out of the noon together,
The flowering sails on the slope of the sea
In the white spring weather.
In and in, they all draw in --
A streaming flock together --
From the lone and monstrous waste of sea
By a single tether.
Home, come home, they all make home
In a racing fleet together --
The little white wishes I sent to you
In the golden weather.
