The gale has raised for just a night
We thought the winds would never cease
Our only light, one star shines bright
On tempered peace
With morning tide mayhap we'll find
The silken calm was but a dream
Yet while I lull in hammock's bind
My grin will gleam
Out at the night through portal's view
The sleeping waves so take their rest
Their kiss like tulips' morning dew-
The hull's behest
Yet hark! A light I think I see
Which shocks me from my revelry
And makes me wonder could it be
pure devilry?
Or am I right to think a lamp
Has past across my cabin's glass?
Why would they stray from where they camp?
Unless for brass!
One dare not break the Captain's rules
By leaving post to walk the halls
Unless to seek some/hide some secret jewels
The thought enthralls....will finish later! Have the rest planned just at a standstill right now
