Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mariner by E. Pauline Johnson read Fullybrovox dot Org
by Ian King. Wreck and astray and cast away swinburn,
once more adrift, o'er dappling sea and broad lagoon, o'er
frowning cliff and yellow dune. The long warm lights of afternoon,

(00:23):
like jewel dustings sift once more awake, I dreamed an
hour of port and key of anchorage, not meant for me.
The sea, the sea, the hungry sea, came rolling up
the brake once more afloat, the billows on my moorings pressed.

(00:45):
They drove me from my moment's rest, And now a
portless sea. I breast and shelterless my boat once more away.
The harbor lights are growing dim, the shore is but
a The sea outstretches gray and grim, away, away away

(01:09):
once more at sea, the old old sea I used
to sail, the battling tide, the blowing gale, the waves
with ceaseless underwail, the life that used to be. End
of poem. This recording is in the public domain.
