A Son Of The Sea

Title:     A Son Of The Sea
Author: Bliss Carman [More Titles by Carman]

I was born for deep-sea faring;
I was bred to put to sea;
Stories of my father's daring
Filled me at my mother's knee.

I was sired among the surges;
I was cubbed beside the foam;
All my heart is in its verges,
And the sea wind is my home.

All my boyhood, from far vernal
Bourns of being, came to me
Dream-like, plangent, and eternal
Memories of the plunging sea.

[The end]
Bliss Carman's poem: Son Of The Sea
