First Line: A star that I love, / the sea, and I
Last Line: All these did he have -- and he is dead.'
Subject(s): Death; Peace; Sea; Stars; Dead, The; Ocean
A star that I love,
The sea, and I,
Spake together across the night.
'Have peace,' said the star,
'Have power,' said the sea;
'Yea!' I answered, 'and Fame's delight!'
The wind on his way
To Araby
Paused and listened and sighed and said,
'I passed on the sands
A Pharaoh's tomb:
All these did he have -- and he is dead.'
