Artwork Description:

A BOAT beneath a sunny sky, Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July -- Children three that nestle near, Eager eye and willing ear, Pleased a simple tale to hear -- Long has paled that sunny sky: Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise, In the pull of the wind I stand, lonely, On the deck of a ship, rising, falling, Wild night around me, wild water under me, Whipped by the storm, screaming and calling. A gray day, and the gulls are gone. Visor of mist o er the sun is drawn. The cordage creaks and the sails all strain, The deck is drenched with the rushing rain, The waves leap strong at the struggling keel, And the ship rides madly with plunge and reel. But the sailors shout as they haul away, And merrily sing, for it s naught care they For the wind that screams on the lee, Or a gray day out at sea.
