FAR OFF-SHORE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Look, the raft, a signal flying
Last Line: Sweeps anew!
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean


Look, the raft, a signal flying,
Thin -- a shred;
None upon the lashed spars lying,
Quick or dead.

Cries the sea-fowl, hovering over,
"Crew, the crew?"
And the billow, reckless, rover,
Sweeps anew!
