First Line: Soft languors on the bosom of the deep
Last Line: Between the day and me, and end it all.
Subject(s): Hope; Memory; Sea; Sun; Optimism; Ocean
SOFT languors on the bosom of the deep,
A blissful swoon that takes the sense in thrall;
My hopes are dead, my memory is asleep,
I only lie and watch the waters fall
And lift, and let my tired spirit steep
In sun and sea, as happy as a hound
That lazes on a plot of grassy ground;
Until the dim night shadows come and creep
Between the day and me, and end it all.
