SONG (6) by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE MOON IS ALONE IN THE SKY
Last Line: BEATING TO BLISS THAT IS PAST EVERMORE.
Subject(s): MOON; SEA; SOUL; OCEAN;

THE moon is alone in the sky
As thou in my soul;
The sea takes her image to lie
Where the white ripples roll
All night in a dream,
With the light of her beam,
Hushedly, mournfully, mistily up to the shore.
The pebbles speak low
In the ebb and the flow,
As I when thy voice came at intervals, tuned to adore:
Nought other stirred
Save my heart all unheard
Beating to bliss that is past evermore.
