What is the Kayak poem summary

The kayak is a poem about a hardy Eskimo who paddles unbothered along a salty water body in his little kayak, bracing extreme snowy weather and waves. Along this journey, he is surrounded by sea-birds that seem at home even in the ocean's roar, and goes past floating icebergs and their melting streams and is occasionally covered up by waves. All these conditions does not deter him as he rights his kayak every time with his paddle and sails on onward.

the poem is shown below

The Kayak

Over the briny wave I go,

In spite of the weather, in spite of the snow:

What cares the hardy Eskimo?

In my little skiff, with paddle and lance,

I glide where the foaming billows dance.

Round me the sea-birds slip and soar;

Like me, they love the ocean's roar.

Sometimes a floating iceberg gleams

Above me with its melting streams;

Sometimes a rushing wave will fall

Down on my skiff and cover it all.

But what care I for a wave's attack?

With my paddle I right my little kayak,

And then its weight I speedily trim,

And over the water away I skim.
