EBB TIDE.

A sodden reach of wide and wind swept lea,
A sky Of shattered steel that pals the sight,
And one long shaft or sun that seems to write
Vast letters slowly on slate Of sea;
The dreary wall of gulls that skim the crest
OF sllllen breakers sliding in to land,
A world grown empty, full of vague unrest
And shadow shapes that stride across the
sand.
The gray beach widens. Foot by foot appear
Strange forms of wreckage creeping from
the waves,
Like ghosts that steal in silence from their
graves
To watch beside the deathbed Of the year.
Poor shattered shapes of ships that once stood
out
Full freighted to the far horizons sweep
To music of the CHEEKY sailor shout
OF men who sought the wonders Of the deep!
Poor shattered shipsl Their gallant cruising
DER,
Their cargoes coral crusted leagues below,
They rise unnamed, unnumbered, from the
slow
Recession of the ebb along the shore.
The tickle tide that bore them bravely then
Betrays their shame and nakedness to be
Mute witness to the littleness of men
Who battle with the sovereignty of sea.
For me- as WELL alone upon the dune
There sinks tide that strips the beaches
And leaves but grim unsightly wreckage
where
The brooding skies make mockery of noon.
All, dear, that hopes, like tides, should ebb
away,
Unmasking on tho naked shore of love
Flotsam and jetsam of happier day,
Dreams wrecked and all the emptiness
thereof
