William James Roe,
Make the Tempest Serve
(1896)
“ The sun-breeze smiled, the night-wind laughed ; The white-flocked sky, the foam-decked sea Beckoned and welcomed sail and craft, Beckoned and welcomed friend and me. So side by side we sailed and sailed, Fair wind behind, fair port before, Till port forgot and wind that failed Left both adrift twixt shore and shore. A sea that steamed, a sky that scowled, A sullen silence calm as death, Then o'er the changing ocean howled Full in our face the wild wind's breath. ”
