Here you will find the Poem The Rower's Chant of poet Thomas Sturge Moore

The Rower's Chant

ROW till the land dip 'neath 
The sea from view. 
Row till a land peep up, 
A home for you.

Row till the mast sing songs 
Welcome and sweet, 
Row till the waves, outstripped, 
Give up, dead beat.

Row till the sea-nymphs rise 
To ask you why 
Rowing you tarry not 
To hear them sigh.

Row till the stars grow bright 
Like certain eyes. 
Row till the noon be high 
As hopes you prize.

Row till you harbour in 
All longing's port. 
Row till you find all things 
For which you sought.
