Break, break, break, On thy rocks and sands, O Sea! As to man's restless spirit Speaks the voice of Galilee! 'Tis well for the passing ship That it anchors in the bay! 'Tis well for fishers of men Who follow the Christ today! For eyes of nations shall see, And men of the future hear The voice of the breaking sea That speaks to a conscious ear. Dash, break, foam, On thy rocks with mist and spray! As thou hast in ages past, Thou wilt in the coming day! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WOMEN AND ROSES by ROBERT BROWNING TO HIM THAT WAS CRUCIFIED by WALT WHITMAN A WINTER'S NIGHT IN IRONDEQUOIT by EMMA MAGIN BISSELL THE WAGGONER by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE WOUND by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH LOVE AND HOPE by FRANCIS BROOKS |
