The Ship Starting
BY
Walt Whitman


Buy Walt Whitman's Works




Lo, the unbounded sea,
On its breast a ship starting, spreading all sails, carrying even
    her moonsails.
The pennant is flying aloft as she speeds she speeds so stately--
    below emulous waves press forward,
They surround the ship with shining curving motions and foam.
