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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS |
