VII. The Sea

The Shore

Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts (1860–1943)

From “Ariadne”

HUNG like a rich pomegranate o’er the sea

The ripened moon; along the trancèd sand

The feather-shadowed ferns drooped dreamfully;

The solitude’s evading harmony

Mingled remotely over sea and land;

A light wind woke and whispered warily,

And myriad ripples tinkled on the strand.
