First Line: The sea that I watch from my window
Last Line: When you come home.
Alternate Author Name(s): Kilmer, Joyce, Mrs.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
The sea that I watch from my window
Is gray and white;
I see it toss in the darkness
All the night.
My soul swoops down to sorrow
As the sea-gulls dip,
And all my love flies after
Your lonely ship.
Yet I am not despairing;
Though we must part,
Nothing can be too bitter
For my high heart;
All in the dreary midnight,
Watching the flying foam,
I wait for a golden morning
When you come home.
