THE FATED GOLDEN STRAND Barbara Graham, ' 38 The waves were pounding on the rocks. The surf was flying high. And seagulls on the wings of wind Gracefully drifted by. The Golden Strand was sailing slow. On the quickly ebbing tide. The billows tossed her wide and high. Trying to humble her pride. The ship sunk deep beneath the waves, And still the story ' s told How the crew of twenty men were saved. But beneath those waves lies gold. Men have dived beneath those waves, And along the rocky land. But only memories remain Of the treasure of the Golden Strand.
