Ebb Tide

"...Others will enter the gates of the ferry and cross from shore to shore,
Others will watch the run of the flood-tide,
Others will see the shipping of Manhattan north and west,
and the heights of Brooklyn to the south and east,
Others will see the islands large and small;

Fifty years hence, others will see them as they cross, the sun half an hour high,

A hundred years hence, or ever so many hundred years hence,
others will see them, Will enjoy the sunset, the pouring-in of
the flood-tide,
the falling-back to the sea of the ebb-tide..."
-Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
