On up the sea slant, <br />On up the horizon, <br />The ship limps. <br /> <br />The bone of her nose fog-gray, <br />The heart of her sea-strong, <br />She came a long way, <br />She goes a long way. <br /> <br />On up the sea slant, <br />On up the horizon, <br />She limps sea-strong, fog-gray <br /> <br />She is a green-lit night gray. <br />She comes and goes in sea-fog. <br />Up the horizon slant she limps.<br /><br />Carl Sandburg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sea-slant/
