Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea

A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea is a poem by Scottish author Allan Cunningham, known for its vivid imagery and nautical themes. Written in the early 19th century, it stands out as one of the finest British sea-songs, despite being penned by a landsman. Cunningham's work often features ornate language and mannerisms, reflecting his background as a poet who imitated traditional Scottish ballads. This poem showcases his lyrical prowess and remains a notable contribution to British poetry.
