CLOUD SEAS, by OLIVE C. LEARY
First Line: The sky's a tossing, wind-swept sea
Last Line: And joy knows depths unseen.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
First Line: The sky's a tossing, wind-swept sea
Last Line: And joy knows depths unseen.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
The sky's a tossing, wind-swept sea,
The clouds are breaking waves;
The darkened space is rocky coast
With many foam-hid caves.
Between the peaks is a misty moon
Half-veiled by spume and spray,
Where mighty crests of a driven sea
Dash frenzied strength away.
And now the sea turns slowly calm
While wearied breakers drowse;
The moon sails high to sprinkle beams
Where scattered white caps browse.
It mirrors tranquil human seas
Resplendantly serene,
When lashing storms have spent themselves
And joy knows depths unseen.
