First Line: Like to a molten globe which workers turn
Last Line: Our shadowy tow-boat followed in our wake.
Subject(s): Great Lakes; Night; Bedtime
LIKE to a molten globe which workers turn,
Of crimson-heated steel, the sinking sun
Dropped to the far blue level of the lake
And laid a burning causeway o'er the waves.
Then in the russet twilight sable clouds
Sat here and there, sprinkled with little stars—
Thus darkness came, and, a red light to port,
A green to starboard, at the cable's end
Our shadowy tow-boat followed in our wake.
