JUST AT THE MOONRISE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sing the rush and roar of the deep-sea breakers
Last Line: Just at the moonrise!
Subject(s): Moon; Sea; Ocean


SING the rush and roar of the deep-sea breakers,
Sing their sob and moan in the purple twilight,
When they roll and plunge on the barren beaches
Just at the moonrise!

Sing the tossing spray and the fleeting spindrift;
Gulls that dip and dart upon wings of wonder;
Ships that fade like dreams on the far horizon
Just at the moonrise!

Sing of hearts that wait in the quiet haven,
Watch and wait for sight of the homing seamen,
Sing of love and pain and of poignant yearning
Just at the moonrise!
