Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow: |
The Coromandel Fishers |
Rise, brothers, rise; the wakening skies pray to the morning light, |
The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn like a child that has cried all night. |
Come, let us gather our nets from the shore, and set our catamarans free, |
To capture the leaping wealth of the tide, for we are the kings of the sea! |
No longer delay, let us hasten away in the track of the seagull's call, |
The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are our comrades all. |
What though we toss at the fall of the sun where the hand of the sea-god drives? |
He who holds the storm by the hair, will hide in his breast our lives. |
Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade, and the scent of the mango grove, |
And sweet are the sands at the full o' the moon with the sound of the voices we love; |
But sweeter, o brothers, the kiss of the spray, and the dance of the wild foam's glee; |
Row, brothers row to the edge of the verge, where the low sky mates with the sea. |
