Edmund Clarence Stedman, ed. (1833–1908). An American Anthology, 1787–1900. 1900.

By George SidneyHellman

1689 Coleridge

THINE is the mystic melody,

The far-off murmur of some dreamland sea

Lifting throughout the night,

Up to the moon’s mild light,

Waves silver-lustrous, silvery-white,

That beat in rhythm on the shadowy shore,

And burst in music, and are seen no more.
