RE: A Sailor's Tale
It just popped into my mind. The poem that inspired me to write this is called "The Seafarer".
Sorry, haha

...
But age fares against him, his face paleth,
Grey-haired he groaneth, knows gone companions,
Lordly men are to earth o'ergiven,
Nor may he then the flesh-cover, whose life ceaseth,
Nor eat the sweet nor feel the sorry,
Nor stir hand nor think in mid heart,
And though he strew the grave with gold,
His born brothers, their buried bodies
Be an unlikely treasure hoard.
By Ezra Pound
This one?
If so, glad to see ol' Ezra is not forgotten
