Gunwhales of Ice
Every day I come to watch you pass by,
enchanted little steamship, always so distant....
Your eyes are two blond captains;
your lip is the briefest red handkerchief
that waves a good-by of blood!
I come to watch you pass by; until that day,
when drunk on time and cruelty,
enchanted little steamship, always so distant,
the evening star will leave!
The riggings; winds that betray; winds
of woman that passed by!
Your frigid captains will give the order;
and I'll be the one who’s gone...!
