THE VOYAGER (2), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Far inland, where the sea
Last Line: We part in tears.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Sleep


Far inland, where the sea,
Throughout the day,
Lives but in memory --
From twilight gray
As foamless tides of sleep
Their heights attain --
Back to the distant deep
I drift again;

And, as of old, a boy
Seem I to be,
With innocence and joy
Afloat with me,
Till, all too soon, the star
Of morn appears,
And on the slumber-bar
We part in tears.
