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 blueSwam before me Two and two

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