Ahab’s Mistress

 

 

Ishmael has beguiled you

With a tale of doom and woe,

It is not white whales that bring mariners down

But rather great white swells

 

The sea she is a mistress

Full of  charm and spite –

Without warning she can turn on you –

leaving darkness where there had been light

 

Yes she is a lady –

Offering ecstasy and depth,

But beware  her in her fury –

Which will leave you only death

 

Padre
