Unfurled to take the wind, as, one by one,

Toil-glistening rowers shipped the dripping oars,

And loosened every sheet before the breeze;

How, as the ship with timbers all astrain,

Leapt to mid-sea, through Marna's body thrilled

A kindred rapture, and there came to her

The sheer, delirious joy of them true-born

To wander with the foam--each creaking cord

That tugged the quivering mast unto her singing

Of unknown shores and far, enchanted lands,
