Unwitting now that envious men prepare

To make their dream and its fulfillment one,

When, poised above the caldrons of the storm,

Their hearts, contemptuous of death, shall dare

His roads between the thunder and the sun.

THE MASTER MARINER

My grandsire sailed three years from home,

And slew unmoved the sounding whale:

Here on a windless beach I roam

And watch far out the hardy sail.
