Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Norman Davey. “ Crying — 'Oh ! that we might spend less time in this grey ocean friendless, Suffering in torment endless - doomed by a divine decree : Damned , discredited and daunted — fever-ridden , devil haunted By the screeching seagull taunted down the sad Sargasso Sea . " Muttering and moaning ever dismal tales of lost endeavour , Corpses we may not dissever all our shattered decks impede Staring skulls that shine and shimmer : ghastly skeletons that glimmer, As the western sun sinks dimmer in the rank Sargasso weed . “ Lying in a grave unlettered , wailing what ye have not yet heard ; Wrecked and rotting, foul and fettered ; we who once were fair and free ; Hope was long ago discarded : all our crews and captains are dead Sepulchred and see - weed guarded in the dark Sargasso Sea .
