Yes, I remember, and still remember wailing Wind in the clouds and rainy sea-horizon, Empty and lit with low, nocturnal glimmer, How in the strong, deep-plunging, transatlantic Emigrant ship we sang our songs in chorus. Piping, the gull flew by, the roaring billows Yawned and resounded round the mighty vessel Infinite uproar, endless contradiction; Yet over all our chorus rose reminding Wanderers here at sea of unforgotten Homes and undying, old, memorial loves. Brown in his haste demanded this from me. I in my lesiure made the present verse. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV LEAVING FOREVER by DENISE LEVERTOV SAILING HOME FROM RAPALLO by ROBERT LOWELL SHACKLETON by MADELINE DEFREES QE2.
