TO THE SUN SHORE (AFTER HEARING A BENGALI SONG), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Fill with the breeze of hope
Last Line: Beyond, beyond the gold-cloud's bar.
Subject(s): Hearts; Kisses; Love


Fill with the breeze of hope
The unfurled sail of your boat!
O maiden, row, row on faster, row!
There dances the golden cloud,
Where the sea kisses the sky blue —
O maiden, row faster, row!

The witches laugh behind;
Yonder lies the haven of light;
Before the light of love doth cease,—
Look! The birds, like argonauts,
Sail in quest of the golden cloudy fleece;—
Before the sun closes his eyes,
Speechless swain of my bark, row, row
Beyond, beyond the gold-cloud's bar.
