She sailed a ship of hollowed bones
whose hull was sealed with amber.
Her hair was darker than midnight's breath
and her eyes were wide and green.
She wore a dress of canvas sail
and her hands were bound in leather,
and though mortal men need time to rest
she never left the wheel.
Sail, sail, the waves all cried,
slapping the ship with tears,
and though mortal men need time to rest she never left the wheel.
