Subject(s): Memory
Clear, limpid waters of Peconic Bay,
Dusk, stealing through the still of grove of oak;
Among them, in the clearing, shadows cloak
Deep window's gloom, where first of moonbeams play
While huge, red, tortuous moon's splendrous array
Drives west dead day's last gleam, in fellest stroke.
Montauk and Orient's gray distant Points convoke.
From out beyond the heads the sheen display
Spreads silver 'cross Peconic's ceaseless tides.
With sails now furled, the small ship rides at anchor;
Soft sound of lulling wave -- boat rowed to shore --
House sullen -- in tense atmosphere abides
While life-time's myriad aspirations break
And memory-pregnant silence yearns to speak.
