Excerpt from The Dread Voyage: Poems

The Dread Voyage.

Trim the sails the weird stars under -
Past the iron hail and thunder,
Past the mystery and the wonder,
Sails our fated bark,
Past the myriad voices hailing,
Past the moaning and the wailing,
The far voices failing, failing,
Drive we to the dark.

Past the headlands grim and sombre,
Past the shores of mist and slumber,
Leagues on leagues no man may number
Soundings none can mark,
