Rudyard Kipling – "Tin Fish"


Rudyard-Kipling- Tin Fish



1914-18
(Sea Warfare)

The ships destroy us above
    And ensnare us beneath.
We arise, we lie down, and we move
    In the belly of Death.

The ships have a thousand eyes
    To mark where we come . . .
But the mirth of a seaport dies
    When our blow gets home.
