HERE in the moonlit sea, While swift we fly, while tranced we gaze, The fishers wind their ancient ways: Now like sea-lilies loom their luring sails, Or heaven's envoys walking fountained vales; And now by one deflection dark, Like waiting vultures of the night Each pirate blackness skulks, a murderous mark Begotten by a thing of light, Like apprehension's baffling destiny. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS ALMSWOMEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
