No port lamps CLEAN along our sides.
No banners float on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our sea or sky.
No admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunners stand.
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike. stern command.
Yet all the navies OF the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That thunders through the gale.
By captains gray our path Is marked.
By sailors white and old;
For us the phantom rockets glare.
And phantom bells are tolled.
In misty, aforementioned ports
Our beacon lights were set
BY hands long gone from mortal view,
BY forms that men forget.
And we may wander on our course
Till time at end shall be.

Extractive matters are also nourishing
