      Table of Contents

      Here is a world of changing glow,

      Where moods roll swiftly far and wide;

      Waves sadder than a funeral's pride,

      Or bluer than the harebell's blow!

      The sunlight makes the black hulls cast

      A firefly radiance down the deep;

      The inlet gleams, the long clouds sweep,

      The sails flit up, the sails drop past.

      The far sea-line is hushed and still;

      The nearer sea has life and voice;

      Each soul may take his fondest choice—

      The silence, or the restless thrill.

      O little children of the deep—

      The single sails, the bright, full sails,

      Gold in the sun, dark when it fails,

      Now you are smiling, then you weep!

      O blue of heaven, and bluer sea,

      And green of wave, and gold of sky,

      And white of sand that stretches by,

      Toward east and west, away from me!

      O shell-strewn shore, that silent hears

      The legend of the mighty main,

      And tells to none the lore again—

      We catch one utterance only: Years!
