The Flower Boat


The Flower Boat
The fisherman’s swapping a yarn for a yarn
Under the hand of the village barber,
And her in the angle of house and barn
His deep-sea dory has found a harbor.
At anchor she rides the sunny sod
As full to the gunned of flowers growing
As ever she turned her home with cod
From george’s bank when winds were blowing.
And I judge from that elysian freight
That all the ask is rougher weather,
And dory and master will sail by fate
To seek the happy isles together.
