First Line: Lo, eastward o'er the billows white
Last Line: What means, o sea, thy moaning!
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
Lo, eastward o'er the billows white
Faint-smiling wakes the child of night
From dreams all rosy with delight.
What means, O sea, thy moaning?
Full noon; and o'er a cloudless sky
Soft winnowings of fragrance fly:
In all the land no shadows lie.
What means, O sea, thy moaning?
Far westward, o'er a dying glow,
Long funeral waves of darkness flow;
Ah, well-a-day! too late I know
What means, O sea, thy moaning!
