SUNSET-MOOD, by STANLEY E. BABB First Line: Outward-bound for singapore Last Line: Steaming to cathay! Subject(s): Sea Voyages; Ships & Shipping | |||
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...LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW THE SHIP POUNDING by DONALD HALL ULTRAISTA ONEIRIC by ANSELM HOLLO THE NORTH SHIP by PHILIP LARKIN GOOD SHIPS by JOHN CROWE RANSOM A MASQUE OF DEAD QUEENS by STANLEY E.
