I SAW thy heart to-day: A rock against whose breast the ceaseless spray Dashed itself into madness, woe and death, Like one that all in vain beleaguereth. Ah, but the ceaselessness! The sea that dieth liveth none the less: After a thousand years must come a day The rock shall yield herself to him for aye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES THE HEAD ON THE TABLE by JOHN HAINES A CHILD'S EVENING HYMN by GEORGE HERBERT CLARKE |
