At_Last

Ocean G.F.E. McGuiness

Have you seen my ocean? Have you seen my bay?

As gentle rains sweep the waters. A harsher reign keeps me away.

Have you seen the jetty? Are our sailors at the pier? I 'd take your hand and sail away But stronger hands would write me here.

My light house seeks me out In vain.

A friendless calling gull Laments.

By God, with you, I 'll sail again If only in an absence.
