Poem: La Mer

Poem: La Mer

 

A white mist drifts across the shrouds,

A wild moon in this wintry sky

Gleams like an angry lion's eye

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Out of a mane of tawny clouds.

 

The muffled steersman at the wheel

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Is but a shadow in the gloom; -

And in the throbbing engine-room

Leap the long rods of polished steel.

 

The shattered storm has left its trace

Upon this huge and heaving dome,

For the thin threads of yellow foam

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Float on the waves like ravelled lace.
