WHERE is the sea? -- I languish here -- Where is my own blue sea? With all its barks in fleet career, And flags, and breezes free? I miss that voice of waves which first Awoke my childhood's glee; The measured chime -- the thundering burst -- Where is my own blue sea? Oh! rich your myrtle's breath may rise, Soft, soft your winds may be; Yet my sick heart within me dies -- Where is my own blue sea? I hear the shepherd's mountain flute, I hear the whispering tree; The echoes of my soul are mute, -- Where is my own blue sea? | 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 A DIRGE (1) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS |
