about

Samuel Gottlieb August (Invercargill Poet) Southland Times 9 April 1919

lyrics

The lash of foam-decked breakers is drumming in my brain,
The green unresting acres call me once again.
Gigantic tramps smoke-blackened fade out across the blue,
With steady gait unslackened, they reach old ports anew.
But when the mists are falling, and waves build up like hills,
I hear home's magic calling, I hear a voice that thrills.
There is a throb of pumping, there is a crash of steel,
And the steamer goes out romping with joy that one can feel.
There is a far horizon, there is a wind that stings,
And a day I have my eyes on, and a heart that calls and sings.
A past that is forgotten, and washed away, the pain.
No crude ambition thought on, no ends and goals to gain,
But just the sea's loud sounding, and just the engine's song,
The big boat forward pounding, and a voyage six weeks long.
