MEDITATIONS OF A MARINER[4]

BY WALLACE IRWIN

A-watchin' how the sea behaves For hours and hours I sit; And I know the sea is full o' waves— I've often noticed it. For on the deck each starry night The wild waves and the tame I counts and knows 'em all by sight And some of 'em by name. And then I thinks a cove like me Ain't got no right to roam; For I'm homesick when I puts to sea And seasick when I'm home.
