AS I CAME DOWN IN THE HARBOR By Louis Ginsberg

As I came down in the harbor, like far
swallows
flying, Delicate were the sails I saw, poised faint and dim !

A thousand times have whirled in the wind,
And the moon, with hollow cheek,
Staring from her hollow height,
Consolation seems to seek
From the dim,

And the fog-streaks dead and white
Lie like ghosts of lost delight
O'er highest earth and lowest sky;

With blindness linked, did on my vitals fall;
Dizzy my brain, with

Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
