To The Master Of The Meteor
By Herman Melville

------=====------
     Lonesome on earth's loneliest deep,
     Sailor! who dost thy vigil keep—
     Off the Cape of Storms dost musing sweep
     Over monstrous waves that curl and comb;
     Of thee we think when here from brink
     We blow the mead in bubbling foam.

     Of thee we think, in a ring we link;
     To the shearer of ocean's fleece we drink,
     And the Meteor rolling home.
 
------------
