Beyond and yet beyond new beauty calls To me with unimagined loveliness. Gigantic mountains rise and seem to press The sky; there rainbowed water leaps and falls; I walk through cypress vista'd labyrinths, On dustless roads that wind with silver sheen, By trees and grass, transparent, glowing green, In gardens bedded with rare hyacinths. But I, uncomforted and yearning, seek The waves' wild clamoring and ocean's roar, The weave of waters on a pebbly shore Where overhead the seagulls wheel and shriek. Magnificence and beauty compass me, But oh, unsatisfied, there is no sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GLASS OF BEER by JAMES STEPHENS I GREET THEE by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS THE WELCOME by FARID OD-DIN MOHAMMAD EBN EBRAHIM ATTAR THE PIONEER'S FIELD by RICHARD BECK THE SEA DREAM by WILLIAM ROSE BENET THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD: AGLAIA.
