WIND ON THE SEA, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: The loneliness of the sea is in my heart
Last Line: That may not wander as the wind or return as the sea.
Subject(s): Sea; Wind; Ocean
First Line: The loneliness of the sea is in my heart
Last Line: That may not wander as the wind or return as the sea.
Subject(s): Sea; Wind; Ocean
The loneliness of the sea is in my heart,
And the wind is not more lonely than this grey mind.
I have thought far thoughts, I have loved, I have loved, and I find
Love gone, thought weary, and I, alas, left behind.
The loneliness of my heart is in the sea,
And my mind is not more lonely than this grey wind.
Who shall stay the feet of the sea, or bind
The wings of the wind? only the feet of mankind
Grow old in the place of their sorrow, and bitter is the heart
That may not wander as the wind or return as the sea.
