A Lonely Sail...

A lonely sail, so white and wistful -
Asea, in mists of azure clad;
What does it seek in lands far distant?
What has it left in native lands?

The mast is bent: it creaks and moans
In whistling winds and splashing seas;
Alas, not joy this sail longs for
Nor joy it is from which it flees.

Below it – waves of azure heaven,
Above – the rays of sunny fleece,
But seeks that rebel storm for haven,
As if the storms were somehow peace.
