Collected Poems

SABCL - Volume 5

VI. Poems in New Metres
Fragments

Vast-winged the wind

Vast-winged the wind ran, violent, black-cowled waves1

O’er-topped with fierce green eyes the deck,

Huge heads upraised.

Death-hunted, wound-weary, groaned like a whipped beast the ship

Shrank, cowered, sobbed, each blow like Fate’s

Despairing felt.
