The gale blows the waves onto the rock;
The spray leaps up and mounts the wind,
Riding inland the silver troopers
Fall upon the undefended shore;
Returning to the lake spoil laden.
The sloop, in disdain, rides the wind,
Proudly crashing through the waves.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

this is a fragment written in 1974 it is a compilation of memories of childhood summers spent on the shores of the great lakes.
