First Line: Beyond and yet beyond new beauty calls
Last Line: But oh, unsatisfied, there is no sea.
Subject(s): Birds; Gulls; Mountains; Sea; Seagulls; Hills; Downs (great Britain); Ocean
Beyond and yet beyond new beauty calls
To me with unimagined loveliness.
Gigantic mountains rise and seem to press
The sky; there rainbowed water leaps and falls;
I walk through cypress vista'd labyrinths,
On dustless roads that wind with silver sheen,
By trees and grass, transparent, glowing green,
In gardens bedded with rare hyacinths.
But I, uncomforted and yearning, seek
The waves' wild clamoring and ocean's roar,
The weave of waters on a pebbly shore
Where overhead the seagulls wheel and shriek.
Magnificence and beauty compass me,
But oh, unsatisfied, there is no sea.
