The Fleet
Each night upon the bed's dry sea
His tibia wrecks upon her knee.
Great homing boats, they flounder there,
His ironsides just athwart her hair,
In thickest fogs that drown his roar
Move singly toward a diverse shore,
And roll and founder side by side,
The mighty groom and ancient bride,
With boom and bell and warning blast,
Guideless and starless, mast to mast.
– Ruth Stone (1954)
