Over the ships that are anchored,
Over the fleets that part,
Over the cities dark by the shore,
High as a dream thou art!

Additional quotes by Louise Imogen Guiney

Now that the wind is tamed and broken,
And day gleams over the lea,
Row, row, for the one you love
Was out on the raging sea:
Row, row, row,
Sturdy and brave o’er the treacherous wave,
Hope like a beacon before,
Row, sailor, row
Out to the sea from the shore!

North from the beautiful islands,
North from the headlands and highlands,
The long sea-wall,
The white ships flee with the swallow;
The day-beams follow and follow,
Glitter and fall.

Over the ships that are anchored, Over the fleets that part, Over the cities dark by the shore, High as a dream thou art! - Louise Imogen Guiney
