Grey Rocks, and Greyer Sea

By Charles G. D. Roberts

1860-1943


Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
         And surf along the shore --
And in my heart a name
         My lips shall speak no more.

The high and lonely hills
         Endure the darkening year --
And in my heart endure
         A memory and a tear.

Across the tide a sail
         That tosses, and is gone --
And in my heart the kiss
         That longing dreams upon.

Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
         And surf along the shore --
And in my heart the face
         That I shall see no more.
