I've posted this question in Art & Literature but had no replies. I think I might do better over here:
Does anyone know a poem that begins : A ship from Valparaiso came and in the bay her sails were furled;
she brought the wonder of her name and tidings from a sunnier world. -- I believe the title was either
'The Ship' or 'Valparaiso'

Maybe you didn't get an answer because it isn'tr clear what you are asking. Do you just want to confirm its title?

It is Valparaiso


Some lines from Oliver St John Gogarty�s poem Valparaiso,

A ship from Valparaiso came
And in the Bay her sails were furled.
She brought the wonder of her name.
O you must travel far, if you
Would sail away from the gloom and wet.

I have found another website that calls it "The Ship"

A ship from Valpara�so came,
And in the bay her sails were furled.
She brought the wonder of her name,
And tidings from a sunnier world.

'O you must travel far, if you
Would sail away from gloom and wet,
And see beneath the Andes blue,
Our white umbrageous city set'. . .

Oliver Saint John Gogarty 'The Ship'

(somewhat different from what was on the other website)
