THE WAY OF THE WORLD by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: A BOAT THAT SAILS UPON THE SEA
Last Line: AND WATCH AND PRAYER.
Subject(s): BOATS; SAILING & SAILORS; SEA; OCEAN;
A boat that sails upon the sea;
Sails far and far and far away:
Who sail in her sing songs of glee,
Or watch and pray.

A boat that drifts upon the sea
Silent and void to sun and air:
Who sailed in her have ended glee
And watch and prayer.
