SING the rush and roar of the deep-sea breakers, Sing their sob and moan in the purple twilight, When they roll and plunge on the barren beaches Just at the moonrise! Sing the tossing spray and the fleeting spindrift; Gulls that dip and dart upon wings of wonder; Ships that fade like dreams on the far horizon Just at the moonrise! Sing of hearts that wait in the quiet haven, Watch and wait for sight of the homing seamen, Sing of love and pain and of poignant yearning Just at the moonrise! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MRS.
