A poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with the line 'two ships passing in the night'?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It's "Tales of a Wayside Inn. Part iii. The Theologian??s Tale: Elizabeth. iv."

The passage is:

"Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence."
