"Lost Harbor" (sometimes known as "Sailor, Rest Your Oar") refers to three versions of a poem by American poet Leslie Nelson Jennings: a sonnet first published in 1927, a sestet published in 1949, and a sonnet sequence published in 1963. The six-line sestet version has been recited hundreds of times in memorial ceremonies and funerals for sailors, especially submariners.
