Off Cape Colonna

Title:     Off Cape Colonna
Author: Herman Melville [More Titles by Melville]

Aloof they crown the foreland lone,
From aloft they loftier rise--
Fair columns, in the aureole rolled
From sunned Greek seas and skies.
They wax, sublimed to fancy's view,
A god-like group against the blue.

Over much like gods! Serene they saw
The wolf-waves board the deck,
And headlong hull of Falconer,
And many a deadlier wreck.

[The end]
Herman Melville's poem: Off Cape Colonna
