The Torch

Title:     The Torch
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

On my Northwest coast in the midst of the night a fishermen's group stands watching,
Out on the lake that expands before them, others are spearing salmon,
The canoe, a dim shadowy thing, moves across the black water,
Bearing a torch ablaze at the prow.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Torch
