Poem: La Mer

Poem: La Mer

 

A white mist drifts across the shrouds,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址A wild moon in this wintry sky

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Gleams like an angry lion's eye

Out of a mane of tawny clouds.

 

The muffled steersman at the wheel

Is but a shadow in the gloom; -

上海龙凤shlf最新地址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,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址For the thin threads of yellow foam

Float on the waves like ravelled lace.
