Sailing of the Glory

Merrily shouted all the sailors As they left the town behind; Merrily shouted they and gladdened At the slip-slap of the wind. But envious were those faint home-keepers, Faint land-lovers, as they saw How the Glory dipped and staggered-- Envying saw Pass the ship while all her sailors Merrily shouted. Far and far on eastern waters Sailed the ship and yet sailed on, While the townsmen, faint land-lovers, Thought, "How long is't now she's gone? Now, maybe, Bombay she touches, Now strange craft about her throng";
EttertenksomCarl Sandburg

Docks

Strolling along By the teeming docks, I watch the ships put out. Black ships that heave and lunge And move like mastodons Arising from lethargic sleep. The fathomed harbor Calls them not nor dares Them to a strain of action, But outward, on and outward, Sounding low-reverberating calls, Shaggy in the half-lit distance, They pass the pointed headland. View the wide, far-lifting wilderness And leap with cumulative speed To test the challenge of the sea.
TristAmy Lowell

The Exiled Emperor

The birds sing to-day. For to-morrow they will be flown Many miles across the tossing sea.
