Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Dreams; Sea; Sleep; Wind; Nightmares; Ocean
The sea scarce heaves in its calm sleep;
The wind has not awakened yet
Tho' in its dreams it seems to fret;
For, ever and again, the deep
Hearkens a sigh that steals along
As might some echo of sad song:
Ah; there the wind stirs! Lo, the dark
Dim sea's on fire around our barque.
