mystic CLEANS
Of white winged ships that move mys-
teriously,
And voices blend like wind blowM strains
of song
Then fades the visions and the dream is
done.
Yet in the day recalled the white ships
throns,
And murmurs rise where ceaseless
breakers run
From out the vast unknown to human
shores
Where we in sIumber seem to stir and
wake
And listen rapt as one behind closed
Who hears strange voices through its
silence break.
