John Masefield - Trade WindsJohn Masefield - Trade Winds
Work rating: Medium


In the harbour, in the island, in the Spanish Seas, Are the tiny white houses and the orange-trees, And day-long, night-long, the cool and pleasant breeze Of the steady Trade Winds blowing. There is the red wine, the nutty Spanish ale, The shuffle of the dancers, the old salt`s tale, The squeaking fiddle, and the soughing in the sail Of the steady Trade Winds blowing. And o` nights there`s fire-flies and the yellow moon, And in the ghostly palm-trees the sleepy tune Of the quiet voice calling me, the long low croon Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
