Sea slant

H. Clarke

On up the sea slant,

On up the horizon,

This ship limps.

The bone of her nose fog-gray,

The heart of her sea-strong,

She came a long way,

She goes a long way.

On up the horizon,

On up the sea-slant,

She limps sea-strong, fog-gray.

She is a green-lit night gray.

She comes and goes in sea fog.

Up the horizon slant she limps.
