THE VOICE OF THE SEA by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL

First Line: THE SEA WAS HOARY, HOARY
Last Line: O FALLEN STAR OF MORN?
Subject(s): SEA; WAVES; OCEAN;

THE sea was hoary, hoary,
Beating on rock and cave:
The winds were white and weeping
With foam dust of the wave.

They thundered louder, louder,
With storm-lips curled in scorn—
And dost thou tremble before us,
O fallen star of morn?
