YOU TIDES WITH CEASELESS SWELL (AFTER WALT WHITMAN), by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: You tides with ceaseless swell, what moves you thus?
Last Line: That holds us all, as sailing in a ship?
First Line: You tides with ceaseless swell, what moves you thus?
Last Line: That holds us all, as sailing in a ship?
You tides with ceaseless swell, what moves you thus?
What unseen force, through space's spread, afar
Joins sun and earth and moon and every star?
What message send the farthest orbs to us?
What Sirius? what Capella? What great heart
Throbs in the midst, and thrills to every part?
What portion have you in the boundless whole?
What hint of all is on your murmurous lip?
In what vast chamber dwells the fluid soul
That holds us all, as sailing in a ship?
