At the Rim of the World
by Caroline Reynolds

tBy Caroline Reynolds)
Up from the NAV of the great I'M
known
That lies at the rim of the world,
Over the horizon din and dark,
The disk of the moon is hurled.
Weaving a pathway of splendid fire,
A path on the waters breast.
down in the darkness the sea sobs
A plant of its great unrest.)
Far in the dusk of the sheltered bay,
Unmindful of wind and tide,
Heaped with the fruits of the toll of
men,
The schooners at anchor ride;
Somber they loom in the spectral
dusk,
As ghosts on a phantom sea.
(Murmuring cries of the drowsy gulls
Come up from the shadowy quay.)
Gentle the breeze as it voices low
A whisper of loves desire,
Tosses the spin-drift into our eyes,
Aglow with the moonlight's fire.
Sing to me, love. of the sad seas call.
(The moon shadows fade and die:
Nothing remains in my silent world,
But you and the sea and SKYE
