I saw you in the gloaming, love, When all the fleets were homing, love, And under the large level moon the long grey seas were combing, love. I saw you tall and splendid, love, And all my griefs were ended, love, When on me, as I put to land, your seaward eyes were bended, love. The little boats were stranded, love, And all their rich bales landed, love; But all my wealth awaited me low-voiced and gentle-handed, love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GIFT TO SING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TOM O'ROUGHLEY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS HATRED by GWENDOLYN B.
