The lover of child Marjory <br /> Had one white hour of life brim full; <br /> Now the old nurse, the rocking sea, <br /> Hath him to lull. <br /> The daughter of child Marjory <br /> Hath in her veins, to beat and run, <br /> The glad indomitable sea, <br /> The strong white sun.<br /><br />Bliss Carman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sea-child/
