Hat do you think of this?

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail,
Reason the card, but passion is the gale;
Nor God alone in the still calm we find,
He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind.

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail,

He's a passionate salior and would love to write
but his verse (like his boat) is full of old shite.

The wee laddie Jimi can noo make a rhyme,
Hes nae kind'a poet ah say
He's heads up his a****hole for much o'th time,
An he's still talkin rubbish t'day.

If ye'r wantin a poem then come tae the bard,
Not a wee daftie toss pot like heim
Fer he cana be nice tho it's terribly hard
An hel soon get a stuffing from Kim....

Anyone who rhymes 'find' with 'wind' should be cannonised.
Repeatedly.

Much better:
It is a beauteous evening calm and free
The holy time is quiet as a nun,
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;
The gentleness of heaven is on the sea:
Listen! The mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder - everlastingly!

Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year;
And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.

Re: WW1

This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The Winds that will be howling at all hours
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for every thing, we are out of tune;
It moves us not—Great God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of something in a double D;
