We now, held in captivity,
Spring to our bondage nor grieve--
See now, how it is blesseder,
Brothers, to give than receive!
Keep trust, wherefore we were made,
Paying the debt that we owe;
For a clean thrust, and the shear of the blade,
Will carry us where would go.

Comments2Meh, kinda boring if ya ask me.
Just wanted to share my thoughts on 'The Ship That Found Herself'! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The overarching themes of strength, resilience, and duty really resonated with me. There's something special about a poem that can inspire and provoke deep thoughts at the same time. Made me appreciate the art of poetry even more 👍📖
