FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Returning from what other seas
Last Line: Awake among the gossamers!
Subject(s): Dreams; Love; Nightmares


RETURNING from what other seas
Dost thou renew thy murmuring,
Weak Tide, and hast thou aught of these
To tell, the shores where float and cling
My love, my hope, my memories?

Say does my lady wake to note
The gold light into silver die?
Or do thy waves make lullaby,
While dreams of hers, like angels, float
Through star-sown spaces of the sky?

Ah, would such angels came to me
That dreams of mine might speak with hers,
Nor wake the slumber of the sea
With words as low as winds that be
Awake among the gossamers!
