Duncan Campbell Scott - At SeaDuncan Campbell Scott - At Sea
Work rating: Low


Three are emerald pools in the sea,   And wing-like flashes of light; The sea is bound with the heavens   In a large delight. Night comes out of the east   And rushes down on the sun; The emerald pools and the light pools   Are darkened and done. Our boat dips and cleaves onward,   Careless of night or of light, Following the line of her compass   By her engines` might. Through the desert of air and of water;   Like the lonely soul of man, Following her fate to the ending,   Unaware of the hidden plan. Sure only of battle and longing,   Of the pain and the quest, And beyond in the darkness somewhere   Sure of her rest.
