Slabs of the Sunburnt West

SEA SLANT
On up the sea slant,
On up the horizon,
This ship limps.
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.
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.
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.
She comes and goes in sea fog.
Up the horizon slant she limps.
