First Line: You are the careless cliffs that shine
Last Line: And then go out forevermore.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Love
You are the careless cliffs that shine,
I am the wind and driven sea --
The ardor of the waves is mine
And their futility.
Endlessly up the cliffs they yearn
Breaking in song against the shore,
Silver sparks in the sun that burn
And then go out forevermore.
