He is known to have worked on his collection called "Ballads" while in Hawaii and the poem is the last one in that collection. Maybe staring at the whitecaps brought the memory back to mind.<br /><br />I agree, Mary Lee and Robyn. I wished for a happier outcome, too. I suppose it was a good result for the ship and crew, just not one sad sailor.Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-50454097646262056632011-12-03T15:39:45.538-05:002011-12-03T15:39:45.538-05:00I know, Mary Lee!
