Golden Gate Ferry<\/p>\n
Ferry Island<\/a>, in British Columbia<\/p>\n ferry children<\/p>\n Definition<\/a>: A ferry<\/strong> (or ferryboat<\/strong>) is a boat<\/a> or ship<\/a> (a merchant ship<\/a>) used to carry (or ferry<\/em>) primarily passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice<\/a>, is sometimes called a water bus<\/a> or water taxi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost<\/a> much lower than bridges or tunnels. However, ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea<\/a>) may also be called ferry services, especially if they carry vehicles.

\nBeneath the rain and mist and sullen skies.
\nLook out the window; \u2019t is a gray emprise,
\nThis piloting of massed humanity
\nOn such a day, from shore to busy shore,
\nAnd breeds the thought that beauty is no more.<\/p>\n
\nThe Southland in her face and foreign dress;
\nShe bends above a babe, with tenderness
\nThat mothers use; her mouth grows soft and sweet.
\nThen, lifting eyes, ye saints in heaven, what pain
\nIn that strange look of hers into the rain!<\/p>\n
\nWith careless grace across her raven hair;
\nHer cheek burns brown; and \u2019t is her way to wear
\nA gown where colors stand in satin\u2019s stead.
\nHer eye gleams dark as any you may see
\nAlong the winding roads of Italy.<\/p>\n
\nThis beggar woman midst the draggled throng!
\nHow must she pine for solaces of song,
\nFor warmth and love to furnish laughing-times!
\nHer every glance upon the waters gray
\nIs piteous with some lost yesterday.<\/p>\n
\nAnd once a flower growing stark alone
\nFrom out a rock; I\u2019ve heard a hound make moan,
\nLeft masterless: but never came to me
\nEre this such sense of creatures torn apart
\nFrom all that fondles life and feeds the heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
