charles tomlinson griffes - an old song re-sung lyrics
i saw a ship a-sailing, a-sailing, a-sailing
with emeralds and rubies and sapphires in her hold;
and a bosun in a blue coat bawling at the railing
piping a silver call that had a chain of gold;
the summer wind was failing and the tall ship rolled
i saw a ship a-steering, a-steering, a-steering
with roses in red thread worked upon her sails;
with sacks of purple amethysts, the spoils of buccaneering
skins of musky yellow wine, and silks in bales
her merry men were cheering, hauling on the brails
i saw a ship a-sinking, a-sinking, a-sinking
with glittering sea-water splashing on her decks
with seamen in her spirit-room singing songs and drinking
pulling claret bottles down, and knocking off the necks
the broken gl-ss was ch-nking as she sank among the wrecks
