To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Would that the waves and the long white hair of the spray Would gather in splendid terror and blot me away To the sunless place of the wrecks where the waters sway Gently, dreamily, quietly over desolate sands !
VAGABOND 8 S VAGABOND Dunno a heap about the what an' why, Can't say's I ever knowed.
Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky, Earth's jest a dusty road.
Dunno the names o' things, nor what they are, Can't say's I ever will.
Dunno about God — he's jest the noddin' star Atop the windy ...hill.
Dunno about Life — it's jest a tramp alone From wakin'-time to doss.
Dunno about Death — it's jest a quiet stone All over-grey wi' moss.
An' why I live, an' why the old world spins, Are things I never knowed ; My mark's the gypsy fires, the lonely inns, An' j«et the dusty road.
86 SALT-WATER BALLADS VISION I have drunken the red wine and flung the dice; Yet once in the noisy ale-house I have seen and heard The dear pale lady with the mournful eyes, And a voice like that of a pure grey cooing bird.
