Captain My Captain Fair Maiden
when the sea turns rough
enduring wave upon wave, a boat
bouyed, outfitted with strength
built by the one who knows the sea;
a sailor with years upon the water
knows the wood, canvas, and ropes
carving and fitting every joint
a journeyman, a carpenter,
seadog of old
cristened lady, a seaworthy ship
she sailed fair weather or froth
captain my captain fair maiden
