The Poems of Sidney Lanier
Contents:
VII.
"So when there came a mighty cry of `Land!’
And we clomb up and saw, and shouted strong
`Salve Regina!’ all the ropes along,
But knew at morn how that a counterfeit band
Of level clouds had aped a silver strand;
So when we heard the orchard-bird’s small song,
And all the people cried, `A hellish throng
To tempt us onward by the Devil planned,
Yea, all from hell — keen heron, fresh green weeds,
Pelican, tunny-fish, fair tapering reeds,
Lie-telling lands that ever shine and die
In clouds of nothing round the empty sky.
Tired Admiral, get thee from this hell, and rest!’ —
`Steersman,’ I said, `hold straight into the West.’
