North Atlantic
Consider this: Didactic place,
Where men have moved with sinew'd grace,
Midst trough and peak and wind licked lace.
Now: hear the voice that bids them care
To heed their step and gait, and prayer;
Lest sun be taken from their face,
When set aside in cold embrace
Beneath; in ancient rhythms there.
Reg Kear (c) 1996.
