And how the sum of all love's opulence
Must be obscured by tears!




A SEA SONG


Dolphins under and sea-gulls over
The surge and shift of the dipping tide,
And you, my rover, my blithe sea-rover,
Sailing the path of the undenied.

In dreams I follow you, O my rover,
Wide, for the ways of the sea are wide;
Come back, come back when the voyage is over,--
Back to the heart of the long denied!




A SYMPHONY OF THE SEA

(GLOZE ROYAL)


_The surges sing in ceaseless monotone
The songs and sagas of the long-ago;
Many and mournful are the memories blown
