cecil armstrong gibbs – the gallias lyrics
Loading...
‘tell me, tell me
unknown stranger
when shall i sight me
that tall ship
on whose flower+wreathed counter is gilded sleep.’
‘landsman, landsman
lynx nor kestrel
ne’er descry from
ocean steep
that midnight stealing, high+p++p’d galleass, sleep.’
‘promise me, stranger
though i mark not
when cold night+tide’s
shadows creep
thou wilt keep unwavering watch for sleep.’
‘myriad the lights are
wayworn landsman
rocking the dark through
on the deep:
she alone burns none to prove her sleep.’
