A MARINE ETCHING by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Poet Analysis

First Line: A YACHT FROM ITS HARBOR ROPES PULLED FREE
Last Line: A GRAY FOG, DRIFTED, AND HID HER FROM VIEW.
Subject(s): SHIPS & SHIPPING;

A YACHT from its harbor ropes pulled free,
And leaped like a steed o'er the race track blue,
Then up behind her, the dust of the sea,
A gray fog, drifted, and hid her from view.
