by Frederick (Fred) G. Bowles ( flourished 1899-1918 )
The voyager
Language: English
My Love is like a voyager,
Who sails a winter sea,
O'er Ocean's deep
the stars outleap
To guide my Love and me.
My Love is watching at the sail
Where wind and sunlight be,
Though storms may blow,
my Love, I know,
Will guide my soul and me.
