Past the bold line, faces are eerie shadows,
identified by the calm surf on flat sand.
Or we can view the ship's lights from the land,
similar to roving elf blazes, but much narrow.
I can observe clearly even in this light,
A gully arises in response to your desire.
Between these two, the dry, barren mire,
There are caged eyes and unfurled sight.
Massive clouds loom over the coast,
A quiet night in the water was dark and still.
Save where the echoing roar may thrill,
Dull waves folding at a stern foot inmost.
