VII. The SeaThe Shore
Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts (18601943)From “Ariadne”
H
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.
