OUTWARD-BOUND for Singapore, Steaming to Cathay, A tramp-ship shoulders across the sunset Through a race of wind-flung spray. I watch the ship: a fading blur Against the flaming sky; While grey waves tumble along the beach And the seagulls skirl and cry. My dreams lift their wide eagle-wings And follow the ship away, Outward-bound for Singapore, Steaming to Cathay! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO BEACHEY, 1912 by CARL SANDBURG SWALLOW FLIGHT by SARA TEASDALE ROBERT GOULD SHAW by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE TRIUMPH OF TIME by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE THE BROOK: AUTUMN by LAURA ABELL A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 31 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE PRISONER by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
