LA MER by Oscar Fingal O'Flaherite Wills Wilde (1854-1930)
A white mist drifts across the shroudsA wild moon in this wintry skyGleams like an angry lion's eyeOut of a mane of tawny cloudsThe muffled steersman at the wheelIs but a shadow in the gloom
And in the throbbing engine-roomLeap the long rods of polished steelThe shattered storm as left its traceUpon this huge and heaving domeFor the thin threads of yellow foamFloat on the waves
Like ravelled lace*Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was a famous poet and playwright in London during his lifetime. He was sought after for his plays. ( His poems are in the public domain)
