God bless the woman, whoever she be,
From the tossing waves will recover thee
And lashing wind.
Who will take thee out of the wind and storm,
Dry thy wet face on her bosom warm
And lips so kind?
I not to know. It is hard to pray.
But I shall for this woman from day to day,
‘Comfort my dead,
The sport of the winds and the play of the sea.’
I loved thee too well for this thing to be,
O dear black head!
