Carl Sandburg

Here you will find the Poem Sea Slant of poet Carl Sandburg

Sea Slant

On up the sea slant, 
On up the horizon, 
The 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.

On up the sea slant, 
On up the horizon, 
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.
