I look far out into the pregnant night,
Where I can hear a solemn booming gun
And catch the gleaming of a random light,
That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.

O heart of mine, O soul that dreads the dark!

That I may sight and check that speeding bark
Which out of sight and sound is passing, passing? — Paul Laurence Dunbar
