The Torch

Walt 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 a-blaze at the prow.
