DEJECTION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE SUN IS GONE; AND THE FORSAKEN SEA
Last Line: MINE OWN MUST STAY.

The sun is gone; and the forsaken sea --
Her glance a tear
Wherein all depths of tenderness appear --
Looks back at me,
Where I upon the strand,
The centre of the lone horizon, stand
Forlorn as she,
To know that when her darkness drifts away
Mine own must stay.
