SHORE WINDS.


Follow us into the rains!
To where the sands lie white
And the marshes are choked with the surge
And the shores and the inlets merge
As the day is dissolved in the night.
Strange are the songs we sing you!
Songs of the pain of old:
And the sound of mourpful runes
Creeps over the empty dunes
Till the blood runs pale with cold.
To bring you surcease of sorrow?
Never and never againi
The days shall rise and be spent
With fear and with fear unblent
And the soul shall swoon with pain.
To bring you surcease of sorrow?
Never ana never again,
