LOST by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: DESOLATE AND LONE
Last Line: AND THE HARBOR'S EYES.
Subject(s): BOATS; GREAT LAKES;

Desolate and lone
All night long on the lake
Where fog trails and mist creeps,
The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly,
Like some lost child
In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes.
