POEMS AND SONGS
Of home and trust a message strong
To send the warring world we long
Forevermore.
OPEN WATER!
Open water, open water!
All the weary winter’s yearning
Bursts in restless passion burning.
Scarce is seen the blue of ocean,
And the hours seem months in motion.
Open water, open water!
Smiles the sun on ice defiant,
Eats it like a shameless giant:
Soon as mouth of sun forsakes it,
Swift the freezing night remakes it.
Open water, open water!
Storm shall be the overcomer
Sweeping on from others’ summer
Billows free all foes to swallow,—
Crash and fall and sinking follow.
Open water, open water!
Mirrored mountains are appearing,
Boats with steam and sail are nearing,
Inward come the wide world’s surges,
Outward joy of combat urges.
