First Line: See how, beneath the moonbeam's smile
Last Line: Thus melts into eternity!
Alternate Author Name(s): Little, Thomas
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
SEE how, beneath the moonbeam's smile,
Yon little billow heaves its breast,
And foams and sparkles for a while,
And murmuring then subsides to rest.
Thus man, the sport of bliss and care,
Rises on Time's eventful sea,
And, having swell'd a moment there,
Thus melts into eternity!
