Ship Starting, The.

by Walt Whitman

LO! the unbounded sea!

On its breast a Ship starting, spreading all her sails—an ample Ship,

carrying even her moonsails;

The pennant is flying aloft, as she speeds, she speeds so stately—below,

emulous waves press forward,

They surround the Ship, with shining curving motions, and foam.
