Paul Laurence Dunbar - Ships That Pa** In The Night lyrics

Out in the sky the great dark clouds are ma**ing; I look far out into the pregnant night, Where I can hear the solemn booming gun And catch the gleaming of a random light, That tells me that the ship I seek is pa**ing, pa**ing. My tearful eyes my soul's deep hurt are gla**ing; For I would hail and check that ship of ships. I stretch my hands imploring, cry aloud, My voice falls dead a foot from mine own lips, And but its ghost doth reach that vessel, pa**ing, pa**ing. O Earth, O Sky, O Ocean, both surpa**ing, O heart of mine, O soul that dreads the dark! Is there no hope for me? Is there no way That I may sight and check that speeding bark Which out of sight and sound is pa**ing, pa**ing?
