Poems and Songs about the sea.
| HELL
O! O! CHAUNTY |
| This sea shanty comes from
William Hope Hodgson's book, The
Ghost Pirates, published in 1920. |
| LEVIATHAN |
| Milton in his Paradise Lost,
printed in 1667, comparing Satan with huge monsters, mentions the sea-serpent of
the Norwegians, calling it Leviathan (Book I, verse 192-208). |
| REQUIEM |
| By Robert Louis Stevenson. Written as his own epitaph and engraved on a tablet at his grave on Mount Vaea in Samoa. |
|
SEA-SERPENT |
|
This poem -- or story-rhyme
-- was written by
Mr. George Guyon, Ventnor, Isle of Wight. It wasn't titled, so we gave it one. |
