"The Ship Starting"

LO! the unbounded sea!
On its breast a Ship starting, spreading all her sails -- an ample Ship, carrying even her moonsails;
The pennant is flying aloft, as she speeds, she speeds so stately -- below, emulous waves press forward,
They surround the Ship, with shining curving motions, and foam.

By Walt Whitman (1819-92).
