I have heard the sea-wind sighing Where the dune-grasses grow, The sighing of the dying Where the salt tides flow. For where the salt tides flow The sullen dead are lifting Tired arms, and to and fro Are idly drifting. So through the grey dune-grasses Not the wind only cries, But a dim sea-wrought Shadow Breathes drownëd sighs. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
