Description
Excerpt from Poems
But now my crescent boat erects her mast, And braves once more the doubtful sea and sky Fair be her voyage, though she mounts no more The gaudy streamers of her earlier days, Nor, fraught with folly, scuds along the shore, Her trade vain pleasure, and her fare vain praise; But now, With steadier helm, and sail, and oar, Her freight of calm and serious thought conveys.
