First Line: If thou art sweet as they are sad
Last Line: Of the waves onset faint for thee!
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


If thou art sweet as they are sad
Who on the shores of Time's salt sea
Watch on the dim horizon fade
Ships bearing love to night and thee;

If past all beacons Hope hath lit
In the dark wanderings of the deep
They who unwilling traverse it
Dream not till dawn unseal their sleep;

Ah, cease not in thy winds to mock
Us, who yet wake, but cannot see
Thy distant shores; who at each shock
Of the waves onset faint for thee!
