LAND'S END, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The shores of the world are ours, the solitary
Last Line: Takes the unchanging passion of the sea.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


The shores of the world are ours, the solitary
Beaches that bear no fruit, nor any flowers,
Only the harsh sea-grass that the wind harries
Hours on unbroken hours.

No one will envy us these empty reaches
At the world's end, and none will care that we
Leave our lost footprints where the sand forever
Takes the unchanging passion of the sea.
