DOCKS by Carl Sandburg
Strolling along
By the teeming docks,
I watch the ships put out. 3
Black ships that heave and lunge
And move like mastodons*
Arising from lethargic sleep. 6
The fathomed harbor
Calls them not nor dares
Them to a strain of action, 9
But outward, on and outward,
Sounding low-reverberating calls,
Shaggy in the half-lit distance,
They pass the pointed headland, 12
View the wide, far-lifting wilderness
And leap with cumulative speed
To test the challenge of the sea. 15
Plunging,
Doggedly onward plunging,
Into salt and mist and foam and sun. 18
*mastodons: prehistoric relatives of today's elephants
