The Wind and the Sea.

The sea Is jovial comrade.
He laughs wherever he goes
His merriment shines In the dimpling
lines
That wrinkle his hale reposc:
He lays himself down at the feet Of the
sun,
And shakes all over with glee.
And the broad-backed pillows fall fain
on the shore
In the mirth OF the mighty sea.
But the wind Is sad and restless,
And cursed with an inward pain:
You may bark as you will, by valley
or hill.
But you hear him still complain:
He walls on the barren mountains,
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
He sobs In the cedar and means in the
pine.
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which Is best
The laughter that slips from the ocean
lips,
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's a pang in all rejoicing,
A Joy in the heart of pain,
And the wind that saddens, the sea
that gladdens
Are singing the self-same strain!
