I HAVE LOVED HOURS AT SEA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean


I have loved hours at sea, gray cities,
The fragile secret of a flower,
Music, the making of a poem
That gave me heaven for an hour;

First stars above a snowy hill,
Voices of people kindly and wise,
And the great look of love, long hidden,
Found at last in meeting eyes.

I have loved much and been loved deeply,
Oh when my spirit's fire burns low,
Leave me the darkness and the stillness,
I shall be tired and glad to go.
