Poems (Young)/A Voyage

by Ella Young

A VOYAGE.

I went sailing
 Over the sea,
White gulls and grey gulls
 Following me.

Towers of crystal
 Under the wave,
Pale sea-palaces
 Built for Maeve.

Pale sea-flowers
 Under my keel,
The wind about me
 Immortals feel.

Golden fishes,
 Silver and blue
Swam before me
 Two and two

Till the wave of Cleena
 Curling white
Whelmed my boat
 In rainbow light.
