MASTERLESS

With tattered sail, as ships which driven are

On whatsoever course the winds may list,

Which every peaceful waterway have missed,

And drift on open seas with shattered spar

And gaping seam, which toss and sway and nod,

Remote from sight of land and hope of aid,

So is the canvassed, crude conveyance made

In which Man journeys to the port of God.

No pillow in his vessel rests the head
