ONE WORD THE SHIPS SPEAK, by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI Poet's Biography Last Line: Following night's trackless pathway Subject(s): Ships & Shipping | |||
One word the ships speak. Only loud or low the tone; One mist hovering about them: A violet flute with lavender speech. The waves sing a song, their own, To answer the screech of the gull; The sunsets fiery music Breaks the heavens blue lull. Dance the golden cloud-ships With sails of rose and silver; While from the haven of the east, The moon-ship weighs her anchor. The sun-galleon has rowed downwards; As our ships the self-same way; The moon and her star fleet sail heavenward, Following Night's trackless pathway | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW THE SHIP POUNDING by DONALD HALL ULTRAISTA ONEIRIC by ANSELM HOLLO THE NORTH SHIP by PHILIP LARKIN GOOD SHIPS by JOHN CROWE RANSOM AH, SLEEP-RAVISH ED EYES by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI EYES, SAD EYES, WHAT WORDS THEY SPEAK! by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI |
