helen hunt jackson - an arctic quest lyrics
Loading...
o proudly name their names who bravely sail
to seek brave lost in arctic snows and seas!
bring money and bring ships, and on strong knees
pray prayers so strong that not one word can fail
to pierce god’s listening heart!
rigid and pale
the lost men’s bodies, waiting, drift and freeze;
yet shall their solemn dead lips tell to these
who find them secrets mighty to prevail
on farther, darker, icier seas
i go
alone, unhelped, unprayed-for. perishing
for years in realms of more than arctic snow
my heart has lingered
will the poor dead thing
be sign to quide past bitter flood and floe
to open sea, some strong heart triumphing?
