Andrew Shiston - Come With me to This Island in The Sea (A Villanelle)

Come with me to this Island in the sea br Tears of stone shed by ancient mountains bones br The curving shore for all good men to see br br From storming seas and flooding rip tides free br This Island of white stone only Neptune owns br Come with me to this Island in the sea br br Stand alone on these stark broken cliffs, that be br From pounding of the sea, the broken stones br The curving shore for all good men to see br br Portland's sheltered stony bay, that's in the lee br The Island and her Pulpit Rock that groans br Come with me to this Island in the sea br br Steer your ship towards the Bill's lightning tree br Sail safe to the bay, from the wind that roams br The curving shore for all good men to see br br Come all God's seamen, pray, come walk with me br Find peace away from King Neptune's unholy moans br Come with me to this Island in the sea br The curving shore for all good men to see.
