First Line: When, staunchly entering port
Last Line: I only saw, at last, the beauty of the ship.
Subject(s): Sea; Ships & Shipping; Ocean
When, staunchly entering port,
After long ventures, hauling up, worn and old,
Battered by sea and wind, torn by many a fight,
With the original sails all gone, replaced, or mended,
I only saw, at last, the beauty of the Ship.
