You came -- and like a stormy wind your love Blew over the lone waters, and the sea Of my heart's life was shaken violently, And all the trembling waves began to move. And cried their love out to the shore, and cast Their love upon the shore -- but you were gone! Yet still that restless flood is roaring on, Where once so great a wind of beauty passed. And still, from the calm heaven of my mind, My thought, like a great hawk on lonely wing, Watches those waters laboring, laboring, In troubled multitude, broken and blind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENGLAND GERMANY by GLYN MAXWELL MAN, THE MAN-HUNTER by CARL SANDBURG AT THE BALL GAME by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE BROOK: SUMMER by LAURA ABELL THE FINEST DAY OF ONE'S LIFE by JACQUES BARON THE BLACK PANTHER by JOHN HALL WHEELOCK |
