lirik lagu gideon wagner - herman melville - the berg, a dream

Loading...

i saw a ship of martial build
(her standards set, her brave apparel on)
directed as by madness mere
against a stolid iceberg steer
nor budge it, though the infatuate ship went down
the impact made huge ice~cubes fall
sullen, in tons that crashed the deck;
but that one avalanche was all—
no other movement save the foundering wreck

along the spurs of ridges pale
not any slenderest shaft and frail
a prism over glass~green gorges lone
toppled; or lace of traceries fine
nor pendant drops in grot or mine
were jarred, when the stunned ship went down
nor sole the gulls in cloud that wheeled
circling one snow~flanked peak afar
but nearer fowl the floes that skimmed
and crystal beaches, felt no jar
no thrill transmitted stirred the lock
of jack~straw needle~ice at base;
towers undermined by waves—the block
atilt impending—kept their place
seals, dozing sleek on sliddery ledges
slipt never, when by loftier edges
through very inertia overthrown
the impetuous ship in bafflement went down
hard berg (methought), so cold, so vast
with mortal damps self~overcast;
exhaling still thy dankish breath—
adrift dissolving, bound for death;
though lumpish thou, a lumbering one—
a lumbering lubbard loitering slow
impingers rue thee and go down
sounding thy precipice below
nor stir the slimy slug that sprawls
along thy dead indifference of walls
