Analysis of The Olde Barn Part Two - Conclusion.



The Olde Barn       Part Two/Conclusion:

On my wires, I sense the fires,
as Saint Elmo's currents creep.
Unlike a ship,
I have no hull, nor sails,
to plow the briny deep,

Quite as strong, quite as tall,
as ever a schooner sent
to  sail the world so round.
How sad for ME,
No ports I'll see
I'm fastened to the ground.

For if a ship upon the Rocks,
a gale should blow and Toss,
No more a proud ship she' be,
     She'd become a total Loss.

The storm raged on all night,
We thought it would never end.
For Me and those within my walls, '
'twas a terrible time to spend.

Then toward noon the next day-on,
the storm itself  . . . . . . . 'OUTBLEW'!

WE WERE REALLY GLAD IT WAS OVER;

JUST 'TWEEN ME AND YOU':
