First Line: Against the moon-rayed shore the breakers curled
Last Line: With minor chords to tear the heart asunder.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
Against the moon-rayed shore the breakers curled
In foamy silver sound, and overhead
The southern constellations blazed and purled
Their argent symphony, while shadows fled.
The song of night and all its ancient wonder
Was held within this nocturne of the sea --
With minor chords to tear the heart asunder.
