Summer Inv the Sen.

II thou wouldst wiz the rhythmic heart Of
things,
Go sit in solitude beside the shore.
Giving thine ear to the eternal roar
And every mystic message that II brings
Eddas OF ancient, unremembered kings.
And tunes hat ring with long-forgotten
lore,
All myth and mysteries from the years
Of yore
Ere Time grew weary on his j~ourneyings.
And more from that imperious sibyl, Sea,
Thou mayest learn IL thou wilt hearken

When Gods white star-fres beacon
home the ships,
The solemn secrets of inflnity,
Unto the inner sense translatable,
Hang trembling ever on her darkl.ng
