A Lament

Weep
The volatile ocean!
Let all know: 
When you arrived on our shore 
 
Your champion boat, 
Unswerving of rudder,
Brought us into harbour;
Securely we landed.
 
You had a swift air.
An incessant, searching,
Generous breeze.
Granting us warmth of hope, and spirit. 
 
Our longing is great
As you sail from this isle.
How sweet your memory 
To our hearts and souls.
