THE FLYING DUTCHMAN By Saxton Bradford The restless sea is pounding on a line of jutting reefs And a yellow moon is glowing in the sky. The still lagoons are silvern in that dreamy island night, But I see the heavy combers running high. For a phantom ship is sailing like a feather in the wind And in her rigging runs a ghostly crew. I can see a stooping figure giving orders from the bridge. I can hear the sturdy helmsman singing too. Tis the flying Dutchman hunting, ever hunting through the seas To lift the curse from off his blackened soul. Ships have fled his wraith-hke schooner in calms and shrieking gales He has cruised the seven seas from pole to pole. There he stands, his gaze is far, in fair and stormy weather He sees no shores, nor heeds the driving spray. For his task is set to wander o ' er the briny trackless wastes ' Till the trumpet sets him free on Judgement Day. Like a dream that melts in darkness, he sails out into the night I hear the rustling of the palms once more. The moon ' s pale path is stretched across the dancing, pounding sea Unceasingly, the waves lap on the shore. TWBLVB
