HELFORD RIVER, Helford River, Blessed may ye be! We sailed up Helford River By Durgan from the sea. O to hear the hawser chain Rattle by the ferry there! Dear, and shall we come again By Bosahan, By wood and water fair? All the wood to ransack, All the wave explore— Moon on Calamansack, Ripple on the shore. —Laid asleep and dreaming On our cabin beds; Helford River streaming By two happy heads; —Helford River, streaming By Durgan to the sea, Much have we been dreaming Since we dreamed by thee. Dear, and shall we dream again The one dream there? All may go if that remain By Bosahan, And the old face wear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 71 by OMAR KHAYYAM THE INDIAN by ARTHUR STANLEY BOURINOT ON THE MARRIAGE OF THOMAS KILLIGREW & CECILIA CROFTS: MORNING STORMY by THOMAS CAREW ANTINOMY by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE |
