Edgar Guest - The Women Of The SailorsEdgar Guest - The Women Of The Sailors
Work rating: Low


The women of the sailors, unto them, O God, be kind! They never hear the breaking waves, they never hear the wind But that their hearts are anguish-tossed-, and every thought`s a fear, For the women of the sailors it`s a bitter time of year. The women of the sailors, unto them, O God, be good! `Tis they who know and understand how frail are steel and wood; `Tis they who never see the spray upon a rock-bound coast But what they breathe a prayer to Thee for those that love them most. The women of the sailors, unto them, O God, be nigh! They never hear the hurricane but that it means a sigh; They never hear the tempest but that they pray to Thee For the safety of their loved ones who are battling with the sea.
