Songs of the Sea

X

What is this play thou playest with my life?

How hast thou parted lids mind held so stiff

Against the vision, that like a bud shut long

My mind has opened only to thy song,

And all my life lies like a yearning flower

Hued, perfumed, quivering in thy murmurous power,

And all my days are grown an infinite strain

Of music sung by thee, O shoreless main?
