In Memorial to the Commercial Fisherman Lost at Sea
IN MEMORIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL
FISHERMAN LOST AT SEA
DOWN TO THE SEA IN
SHIPS THEY GO, THESE
CHOSEN MEN OF THE STEEL.
THOUGH MIST AND FOAM
AND NORTHWEST WIND IS
POUNDING AT THE KEEL,
SO SAIL THEY MUST EACH
CRISPY MORN, AWAY FROM TREES
AND SOD. THE SEA MAY OWN
THEIR WINDBURNED FLESH BUT
THEIR SOULS BELONG TO GOD!
