Explore "Hudson's Last Voyage. the Shallop on Hudson Bay (Pro Patria)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
One sail in sight upon the lonely sea, / And only one! For never ship but mine / Has dared these waters. We were first, / My men, to battle in between the bergs / And floes to these wide waves. This gulf is mine; / I name it! and that flying sail is mine!
And there, hull-down below that flying sail, / The ship that staggers home is mine, mine, mine!
