“The loves and hours of the life of a man,
They are swift and sad, being born of the sea.”
Poems and Ballads (1866-89), The Triumph of Time
Context: The loves and hours of the life of a man,
They are swift and sad, being born of the sea.
Hours that rejoice and regret for a span,
Born with a man's breath, mortal as he;
Loves that are lost ere they come to birth,
Weeds of the wave, without fruit upon earth.
I lose what I long for, save what I can,
My love, my love, and no love for me!
“Be loving to him. Because he’s only a little boat looking for a harbor.”

"I Would Live in Your Love"
Helen of Troy and Other Poems (1911)
“Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me.”
Song Red Sails in the Sunset
Song lyrics
Amor servo de l'oro, è il maggior mostro,
Et il più abominabile, e il più sozzo,
Che produca la terra, o 'l mar frà l'onde.
Act II, scene i.
Aminta (1573)
