TO-NIGHT ACROSS THE SEA, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: To-night I sent a dream across the sea
Last Line: The mournful seas impart.
Subject(s): Dreams; Sea; Nightmares; Ocean


TO-NIGHT I sent a dream across the sea,
Beyond the bourne where sky and water meet;
Its ghost came back in mournful melody
Of waters at my feet.
The dream gone out, its ghost abides with me,
A visitant of sorrow in my heart;
And ever clings thereto the mystery
The mournful seas impart.
