DIM in the moon wide-weltering Humber flowed; Shone the rare lights on Humber's reaches low; And @3thou@1 wert waking where one lone light glowed Whose love made all my bliss, whose woe my woe. Borne as on Fate's own stream, from thine abode I with that tide must journey sad and slow; In that tall ship on Humber's heaving road Dream for the night and with the morning go. Yet thro' this lifelong dimness desolate, O love, thy star within me fades not so; On that lone light I gaze, and wondering wait Since life we lost, if death be ours or no; Yea, toward thee moving on the flood of Fate, Dream for the night, but with the morn will go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE by ELLEN MARY PATRICK DOWNING THE DAY-DREAM: MORAL by ALFRED TENNYSON THE WILD GEESE by MICHAEL JOSEPH BARRY THE SONG OF THE BEASTS by RUPERT BROOKE HOW FAR THE ROAD by EDITH FOSTER CHASE OUT OF THE SHADOWS: AN UNFINISHED SONNET-SEQUENCE 11 by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR. |
