First Line: O clouds, ye are ships in the infinite blue
Last Line: Where you float.
Subject(s): Harbors; Love; Sailing & Sailors; Sea; Ocean
O CLOUDS, ye are ships in the infinite blue
Of the ocean of heaven—and ye sail,
And ye sail
To the harbor-gate, open to welcome you through
In the west—to the harbor-gate, pale
As a moon-ray reflected from the sea
To your sail.
O, clouds, ye are ships, and above you the dome
Of an infinite heaven—and ye float,
And ye float
To the beacon-star burning to welcome you home
To your rest. And lovers will gloat
O'er eyes that are blue and wet as the waves
Where you float.
