Ode to the Sea god
One more night with thou I will
sail,
O' Pirate of the land and water;
We will sail Through the dark like
a whale,
Thou that regenerates like an
Immortal.
Thy reign resonates through the
deep,
Where thou made abode thy ancient
keep,
O' Sailor of the far and near,
Thy sickles through the ripples it
reap,
A sage whose foot unroofed the
pier
Thou that feast among the beasts,
Where can we found thee master of
the sea?
Amidst war thy valour
like
inferno we've seen.
Captain
of
the wind, O' the sea god,
Thou himself the turbulence and the
quake,
Thou that ride the sea like the
olden Lord,
Who can then hold their ships from
thy take?
The goddess wantonly at thy
bequeathed seat,
When the sea is like a ground to
thy feet;
One more night with thou I will sail,
And traverse the world as thy seer,
The emblem of skull over bones we
hail
Till the sea return to its sanity
from fear,
We shall stir our oars as virile
horse;
As thy ship swam swiftly on this
uncharted course,
“Ode to the Sea god by Olorunleke
Odubote”
