Have ever you sat by a midnight shore, 'Neath twinkling gems by watery lore, With naught but the tide with a vengeance returned, To batter the shores it earlier spurned? Have you ever sat spellbound and entranced While moonbeams o'er ripples so gracefully danced In simmering motion to rippling waves, A taunt to those in their watery graves? Have ever you thought it ever was so, That man has come and man will go? That earth and sky and wind and sea Were always, and will always be? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEASHORE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS EASTERN LONG ISLAND by MARVIN BELL THE WIND IS BLOWING WEST by JOSEPH CERAVOLO IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER EMPTIES INTO THE GULF by LUCILLE CLIFTON GEOGRAPHY AS WARNING by MADELINE DEFREES POWER FAILURE by MADELINE DEFREES YOUTH'S PROGENY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
