It is also signed and dated - seemingly by the artist - on the lower right of the paper. The poem reads as follows: Over the waves - when the night curtains fall. Deepning the gloom - till fears' shadows appal. Over the waves - with sweet Faith at the helm. Bright visions rising dark thoughts to o'erwhelm. Show more
