Godless black seas cast upon the Sun’s field Of eyes that vainly crave the light What good amid this line Heaven forbid they see you cry No one dares look to the sky
And as the rain covers this line of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me So sad our ocean graves are just beyond the sand I ask myself the question why We still wait for light
We’ve been standing here for so long Of the empty and useless years of the rest Forever reproaching myself, I hear a voice inside my head Follow me instead And I will break from our ranks
Escaping what we’ve made Of cities fill’d with the foolish Of the poor miles of land in front of us And the wages of war will start I will be in line against the clouds
At last we’ve won, in trade some die And the powerful play goes on With the rest me intertwine take me up Seal the door Death has received many souls, I am just one more.
This poem is actually my English project We had to use a 5 line stanza 5 times were we use a poem we've read a song of our choosing and making a song out of it it goes Self, Poem, Poem/Song, Song, Self. This was really hard to make but I hope you enjoy it and I hope my teacher does as well I used the poem Oh me! Oh Life By Walt Whitman And the song March To The Sea by Tyler Joseph
