Excerpt from My Lady of the Search-Light Of shadowing silence. Night and day alike The thronging ships with noisy signallings And waving pennons travel in and out With enterprise unwearied. SO from us The mood of silence passed. How good to breathe These airs of freedom, my companion said, To feel the New World stimulus and poise, The fresher life unburdened by the past, Where the ungraven tablet may be traced With fairer records, newer hopes.
