NOW finale to the shore! <br /> Now, land and life, finale, and farewell! <br /> Now Voyager depart! (much, much for thee is yet in store;) <br /> Often enough hast thou adventur'd o'er the seas, <br /> Cautiously cruising, studying the charts, <br /> Duly again to port, and hawser's tie, returning: <br /> --But now obey, thy cherish'd, secret wish, <br /> Embrace thy friends--leave all in order; <br /> To port, and hawser's tie, no more returning, <br /> Depart upon thy endless cruise, old Sailor! 10<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/now-finale-to-the-shore/
