Herman Melville
1 August 1819 – 28 September 1891 / New York City, New York
Far Off-Shore
LIKE THIS POEM
Look, the raft, a signal flying,
Thin--a shred;
None upon the lashed spars lying,
Quick or dead.
Cries the sea-fowl, hovering over,
'Crew, the crew?'
And the billow, reckless, rover,
Sweeps anew!
