Sailing


Blue sea and white sail
  1
  All day together,
From moon-set to moon-rise,
  Not a sign of weather!
Hid like some deep-sea pearl,
  5
Deep in the heart a girl—
  Like the sea singing.



Foaming sea-laces—
  8
  Ah! for her breast,
Ever a-stirring,
  Ever at rest;
Far-off sea-spaces
  12
  Meeting the skies,
All the world's distance
  Dwells in her eyes,
All the world's sorrow
  16
  At the heart lies—
Like the sea sighing.
