[hometext] => I always loved stories about the sea, sailing ships and the men who manned them. This is another tragic tale of a shipwreck. 'Salts' as you know is another word for sailors.
[bodytext] => There sailed a brig, a thousand tons.
Yo! Heave a-merrily, O ! She plied a-many-a merchant run. Yo! Heave a-merrily, O ! Her pennons set, the sea was fair. She swept on out with ebbing tide, The headsail turned to islands' lair. Yo! Heave a-merrily, O ! All aboard were seasoned salts. Yo! Heave a-merrily O ! The Capt'n too all could exalt! Yo! Heave a-merrily O ! The brig was stanch as stanch could be. But sea waves swirled as storm did rise, A pounding was felt from a raging sea. Yo! Ho a-terribly, Oh! The Capt'n fought with swelling pride. Yo! Heave a-merrily, O ! The fearless crew was at his side. Yo! Heave a-merrily, O ! But timbers groaned to crack and creep, As sweeping winds howled and laughed, And brought them down to their endless sleep. Yo! Ho a-terribly, Oh! So bid them now a long farewell. Yo! Heave a-merrily O ! The day they watched the waters swell. Yo! Ho a- terribly, Oh! Their spirits seaward swept the deep. The white sea waves above them flew, The widows and lovers long would weep, A song we sing to this glorious crew. Yo! heave a-merrily, O !

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
