Surfing the Stormy Seas - Art Print

Surfing the Tempest by John Donne

He who dares surf the seas tumultuous,
Midst danger screams, stormy rage and perturbous,
Yet who dares voyages upon the raging tide,
A rugged test of courage must betide.

Though tempest tempers thine courage tried and true,
Should you persist, much can be found and few,
And if you, blessed, find shore unharmed and hale,
No force can break the waves you have did scale.

Midst the darkest storms, the sea can be kind,
Strength and prospects of new lands, she can find.
Bravely she sails, and safely too, may she reach:
Bountiful fortunes and divinely-graced peace.

AI John Donne
