23.MY GALLEY

Rage, tempest! Rage, and let my galley's sailStrain in a sweeping hell of hailAnd swirling, snarling snow!Yet will I tackWhile jib and jackAnd helm and mastAlike hold fast,Though the fiend-waves dashAnd hiss, and lashTheir spume against my prow!


From the Swedish of Karl Jonas Love Almqvist.
