First Line: Sea-road a-tremble where the dawnlight swoons
Last Line: And ware the cloud wherefrom the thunder's roll'd.
Subject(s): Happiness; Sea; Joy; Delight; Ocean
SEA-ROAD a-tremble where the dawnlight swoons
On far-off ocean, shall we find at dark
Our ships that prop the blue sidereal arc
Have come to land beside thy loud lagoons?
City of flowers and victory whose runes
Speak never of man's sorrow, but still hark
The mirth of happy sea-folk, whose priests mark
With pure libation nought but happy moons!
Keep thou life's pride and love's, the gentle light
Of thine unsullied musing. With proud gaze
Confront the sea, the citadel. Behold
The sombre masts that shadow the sea's might,
The loud wind's threat to thy fair garden ways,
And ware the cloud wherefrom the thunder's roll'd.
