Sea songs

By Whittier, John Greenleaf

Ho! strike away the bars and blocks,
And set the good ship free!
Why lingers on these dusty rocks
The young bride of the sea?
Look! how she moves adown the grooves,
In graceful beauty now!
How lowly on the breast she loves

Artist: Whittier, John Greenleaf

Year: 1850
