THE sunken bell is ringing up through the sea of sleep. Ah! can you hear it, And not fear it, Mine own bright sea-bird winging down through the sea of sleep? There's many a strange mermaiden beneath the sea of sleep; And drowned white hands Upon the sands, And argosies unfaden beneath the sea of sleep. But they that sink together down through the sea of sleep, In one dream charmèd Lie unharmèd.— Love, if we sank together beneath the sea of sleep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DEAD HEROES by ISAAC ROSENBERG THE LONELY STREET by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DESERT BRIDE by MARY MILLER BEARD NEW THINGS ARE BEST by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT IRISES by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY DARTMOOR: SUNSET AT CHAGFORD: HOMO LOQVITUR by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
