Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Norman Davey . Far from life and land , unnumbered ships - enmeshed while sailors slumbered Glide in dripping weed encumbered to that magic, tragic main : While from out the sunset sheening , sounds a song of bitter meaning , Waking all the intervening oceans with its sad refrain . As your gallant ships go sailing - blocks acreaking , log atrailing , Can 't you hear us wailing , wailing ? Will you never , never heed Us , who lie with mate and man dead - sailless , rudderless and stranded Ever firmly , foully banded , bound with bleak Sargasso weed ? " Flound ' ring in a foetid ocean - windless , tideless , ' reft of motion ; Nightly - while a ghostly glow shone round the drift - weeds filigree : Daily - while the sun shone sickly through the mists , that shrouded thickly All those vessels rotting quickly in the foul , Sargasso Sea .
