The vessel, though her masts be firm,
Beneath her copper bears a worm.


Monday, Though All the Fates Should Prove Unkind, st. 2 - A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849)

The vessel, though her masts be firm, Beneath her copper bears a worm.

The vessel, though her masts be firm, Beneath her copper bears a worm.

The vessel, though her masts be firm, Beneath her copper bears a worm.
