Poet Analysis

First Line: COME OUT OF THE GOLDEN GATE
Last Line: ALL HANDS SAVE SHIP! HAS STARTLED DREAMERS.
Subject(s): DISASTERS; SHIPWRECKS;
Come out of the Golden Gate,
Go round the Horn with streamers,
Carry royals early and late;
But, brother, be not over-elate --
All hands save ship! has startled dreamers.
