OCTAVES IN A GARDEN: 32, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He is no lover of the sea who loses
Last Line: Where the hills tire and the rough pathway bruises.
Subject(s): Melodies; Music & Musicians; Voices


He is no lover of the sea who loses
Sound of her voices, inland wandering.
Still should her old melodious mystery spring
Around him, wend he wheresoe'er he chooses;
And so within me rhythmic life refuses
By any other pulse than yours to swing,
Far from your friendship's ocean though I sing
Where the hills tire and the rough pathway bruises.
