Shall tempt the searching sea.
Sea songs
By Whittier, John Greenleaf
Where'er the keel of our good ship
The sea's rough field shall plough;
Where'er her tossing spars shall drip
With salt-spray caught below;
That ship must heed her master's beck,
Her helm obey his hand,
And seamen tread her reeling deck
Artist: Whittier, John Greenleaf
Year: 1850
