Dusk at sea




 

                             Dusk at Sea

1882-1932



To-night eternity alone is near:
         The sea, the sunset, and the darkening blue;
Within their shelter is no space for fear,
         Only the wonder that such things are true.

The thought of you is like the dusk at sea --
         Space and wide freedom and old shores left far,
The shelter of a lone immensity
         Sealed by the sunset and the evening star.

Jack-O'-Lantern


Jack o' the lantern! Joan the wad,
Who tickled the maid and made her mad
Light me home, the weather's bad.
