THE SONG OF AHES, by ANATOLE LE BRAZ Poet's Biography
First Line: I am the sea made woman. My long hair
Last Line: Whereon the clear sea's kisses now lie still.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
First Line: I am the sea made woman. My long hair
Last Line: Whereon the clear sea's kisses now lie still.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
I AM the Sea made Woman. My long hair
Is blown as balm upon the world's wide space.
There is no beauty on high heaven's face
Save as my eyes are mirrors to it there.
My gold flanks lull the sunbeams; my arms bear
The weary eyes to slumber. I brought grace
And sense of godhead unto man; the race
Of the first Gods rose from my bosom fair.
O man, thy Gods are deaf, thy pray'r denied.
As one that endeth all, come take my tide;
I have love's boon to give, love's balm to spill.
Leave on the wind thy wandering sail adrift.
No more, no more those weary lids shall lift
Whereon the clear sea's kisses now lie still.
