SAILING NOWHERE

The sea was wide- so blue and cold

I needed to land before- I grew old

Not a pint of anything was still sold

Neither rocks so bright, nor the shining gold.

Birds filled the sky-and fishes, the sea

There was no land- to where I can flee

In the winking waters- I felt its glee

Show me a land where- I can be free

Such a weary travel- To where, I knew not

All was litter- What I'd now got

Oh! Please tell me sea! Is this what I sought?

Such a tiresome battle- But for what was it fought?

The sea was wide-so blue and cold

I needed to land before I grew old

I might never land, may never be bold,

It's now just a life here- With rocks and gold...
