Melville, Herman

"Billy Budd"



I remember Taff the Welshman when he sank.

And his cheek it was like the budding pink.

But me they'll lash me in hammock, drop me deep.

Fathoms down, fathoms down, how I'll dream fast asleep.

I feel it stealing now. Sentry, are you there?

Just ease this darbies at the wrist, and roll me over fair,

I am sleepy, and the oozy weeds about me twist.



THE END
