First Line: Broken things are loveliest
Last Line: The broken beauty of the sea.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


Broken things are loveliest,
Broken clouds when dusk is red,
Broken waves where a rainbow rides,
Broken words left half unsaid.

Broken things, broken things --
How quietly they comfort me,
Riven cliffs, where I can watch
The broken beauty of the sea.
