John Marr and Other Sailors is a volume of poetry published by Herman Melville in 1888. Melville published twenty-five copies at his own expense, indicating that they were intended for family and friends. Henry Chapin wrote in an introduction to a reprint that Melville's loveable freshness of personality is everywhere in evidence, in the voice of a true poet.The Inscription Epistolary is to William Clark Russell, a British sea-story author who called Melville the greatest genius the [United States] has produced and first among the poets of the deep. Like Timoleon, his other volume of late verse, scholars have assumed that it was a private work of art, symptomatic of his withdrawal from the literary world. Melville was putting this collection together as he was also drafting Billy Budd, which, like several poems in this collection, had prose headnotes followed by full poems.

JOHN MARR AND OTHER SAILORSSince as in night's deck-watch ye show,Why, lads, so silent here to me,Your watchmate of times long ago?Once, for all the darkling sea,You your voices raised how clearly,Striking in when tempest sung;Hoisting up the storm-sail cheerly,Life is storm-let storm! you rung.Taking things as fated merely,Childlike though the world ye spanned;Nor holding unto life too dearly,Ye who held your lives in hand-Skimmers, who on oceans fourPetrels were, and larks ashore.
