The Dismantled Ship by Walt Whitman Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1855

In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor'd near the shore,
An old, dismasted, gray and batter'd ship, disabled, done,
After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul'd up at last and
        hawser'd tight,
Lies rusting, mouldering.
