I SAILED UP A RIVER WITH A PLEASANT WIND, by HENRY DAVID THOREAU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: The cape never rounded, nor wandered o'er Subject(s): Sailing & Sailors | ||||||||
I sailed up a river with a pleasant wind, New lands, new people, and new thoughts to find; Many fair reaches and headlands appeared, And many dangers were there to be feared; But when I remember where I have been, And the fair landscapes that I have seen, THOU seemest the only permanent shore, The cape never rounded, nor wandered o'er. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTERN LONG ISLAND by MARVIN BELL SAILS OF MURMUR by ANSELM HOLLO LOST ABOARD U.S.S.
