a sailor's greeting

Across the yawning deeps we go;
what is down there, no one knows.
Wherever the currents flow we flow,
a wake at our rudders and foam at our bows.

So here's a seaman's greeting-

may the West Wind fill your sails
and the sun be ever rising,
each night dissipate to day,
every squall to new horizons.
