Is My Lover On The Sea

Is my lover on the sea 
Sailing east or sailing west, 
Mighty ocean, gentle be, 
Rock him into rest. 
   
Let no angry wind arise 
Nor a wave with whitened crest, 
All be gentle as his eyes 
When he is caressed. 
   
Bear him as the breeze above 
Bears the bird unto his nest, 
There unto his home of love 
And there bid him rest.

    Reminds me of poetry on tombstones in old, old graveyards. I love it.
