First Line: Come, let us watch that rock down in the tide
Last Line: Toward paradise!
Subject(s): Dreams; Home; Love; Thought; Nightmares; Thinking
Come, let us watch that rock down in the tide.
(So many things must go, so many things!)
Once we were young and the world was not so wide,
Or love had wings.
Once we could round the earth without a sail,
(The magic winds are gone, the magic foam!)
Where was the harbour that we did not hail,
That was not home?
Come, we will watch the moon with thoughts, not dreams.
(Whatever goes, love stays, love warm and wise!)
Winged is youth; and yet -- our way still seems
Toward paradise!
