That draws men down the street.

But the fishermen on the Banks, in the eerie watches of the moon, behold this apparition:

When the light wind veers, and the white fog clears,

They see by the after rail

An unknown schooner creeping up

With mildewed spar and sail.

Her crew lean forth by the rotting shrouds,

With the Judgment in their face;

And to their mates’ “God save you!”

Have never a word of grace.
