The Thing That Made Search - AHAB

We looked at one another

Through the smoke

Through the growing dark

May the devil take the hindmost

Aye — an unseen thing stood

And cried upon the decks

Through planks ofgroaning wood

Right above our heads

Right above our heads

And scrubbed at the woodwork

Now take the pipe right from your mouth!

At utmost tension — listen!

Crouch!

Be aware of horrid powers!

Few moments seem like endless hours

With sheer destructiove urge

A many — flapped thing strives

The Thing That Made Search —

Like Raw flesh — but it was alive

Secure the fastenings, aye!

Brace yourself!

There’s none to it than meets the eye

With sheer destructiove urge

A many — flapped thing strives

The Thing That Made Search —

Like Raw flesh — but it was alive

Secure the fastenings, aye!

Brace yourself!

There’s none to it than meets the eye
