The Compass
Touch but with gentlest finger the crystal that circles the Mariner’s Guide— To the East and the West how it drifts, and trembles, and searches on every side! But it comes to its rest, and its light lance poises only one self-same way Since ever a ship spread her marvellous sea-wings, or plunged her swan-breast through the spray—(For North points the needle! —Edith M. Thomas, Selected Poems.
