Pantoum poem from class

A lighthouse shines in the distance

I can hear the waves crash on the shore

Here I will stand on the cliff

Staring out at the dark horizon to see

I can hear the waves crash on the shore

My dear love has been gone for far too long

Staring out at the dark horizon to see

For it is the ship I long to see

My dear love has been gone for far too long

My heart seems to break in rhythm with the waves

For it is the ship I long to see

I wish to catch a glimpse of his white sail

My heart seems to break in rhythm with the waves

I remember what he said to me:

To know that he is okay is to see his white sail

So here I will wait

I remember what he said:

Nothing will keep us apart

So here I will wait

Through rain or shine

Nothing will keep us apart

I do not care how long it has been

Through rain or shine

I will look for that white sail

I do not care how long it has been

Here I will stand on the cliff

To look for the white sail

With the lighthouse shining in the distance

Thank you. Before this semester at school I hadn't seen this style either.
