TO-NIGHT ACROSS THE SEA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: TO-NIGHT I SENT A DREAM ACROSS THE SEA
Last Line: THE MOURNFUL SEAS IMPART.
Subject(s): DREAMS; SEA; NIGHTMARES; OCEAN;
TO-NIGHT I sent a dream across the sea,
Beyond the bourne where sky and water meet;
Its ghost came back in mournful melody
Of waters at my feet.
The dream gone out, its ghost abides with me,
A visitant of sorrow in my heart;
And ever clings thereto the mystery
The mournful seas impart.
