While on a Voyage

Wrote this poem in high school back in 1962 as the answer to the question, "Give an example of alliteration."

The whistling wind whittles wonderfully well In the niche of a nautical night As it silkenly sings above soft sullen swells And frees from fat fetters the fettled fore flight And I am the thrall that it thrusts thenly through As I lay alone looking lovingly lo Quite as quickly as covered the calm can it crew And gallantly gather it's gailing and go Sedangkan pada Pelayaran Angin bersiul mengukir dengan sangat baik Di relung malam bahari Nyani nyani selembut sutra Di atas gelombang membengkak lembut dan muram Dan membebaskan dari belenggu Yang tebal yang sudah menahan sebelum terbang Dan aku budak yang mendorong melalui diriku Saat aku berbaring sendiri, lihatlah aku dengan kasih sayang Secepat dia membungkus ketenangan bisa dia berkokok |
