THE LIFE-TIDE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: EACH WAVE THAT BREAKS UPON THE STRAND
Last Line: FOR ALL ETERNITY.
Subject(s): LIFE;

Each wave that breaks upon the strand,
How swift soe'er to spurn the sand
And seek again the sea,
Christ-like, within its lifted hand
Must bear the stigma of the land
For all eternity.
