A MEMORY OF RUBINSTEIN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He of the ocean is, its thunderous waves
Last Line: And broods above the rage one sphinx-like face.
Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Rubinstein, Anton (1829-1894)


HE of the ocean is, its thunderous waves
Echo his music; while far down the shore
Mad laughter hurries -- a white, blowing spume.
I hear again in memory that wild storm;
The winds of heaven go rushing round the world,
And broods above the rage one sphinx-like face.
