Little ships of whitest pearl <br />With sailors who were ancient kings, <br />Come over the sea when my little girl <br />Sings. <br /> <br />And if my little girl should weep, <br />Little ships with torn sails <br />Go headlong down among the deep <br />Whales.<br /><br />Francis Ledwidge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-song/
