A Sea Child Poem by Bliss William Carman

A Sea Child

Rating: 2.7


The lover of child Marjory
Had one white hour of life brim full;
Now the old nurse, the rocking sea,
Hath him to lull.
The daughter of child Marjory
Hath in her veins, to beat and run,
The glad indomitable sea,
The strong white sun.

So true an image of fragile life to a sailor poet
